Happy Father's Day, Daddy

We love you.

Thanks for talking, and listening, to us.

Thanks for the rides.

And more rides.

And more.

Even when you think you're "done" giving rides, 

another baby comes along and says, "my turn, daddy"

Then she storms off if you ask for a minute to rest.

But then you give her your drink, and  all is well.

You take us to the Farmer's Market.

And we eat food that you buy for us.

We sit on your lap and drink your drinks.

And still, you give us more rides.

"More, daddy."

More rides.

You fix bikes, tires, toys and everything else we break.

With you, every moment is an opportunity to learn.

You fix things that we break trying to "fix" ourselves.

You appreciate every little thing that we do,

and you always make us feel appreciated  and loved.

And that's why two of our favorite words are, "Daddy's Home!"

For this, and all the other countless things you do and say, and for all the love you give to us that is available to us every day...we say, "Thank you," and "We love you, Daddy."
