Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of the Dad's in my life!

To the love of my life: Your first Father's Day as a daddy of two! I hope it's a great day. When I think back to all you went through to become a dad the first time, I can't help but love you even more. It's been a long road to this point in your life, and I hope you are happier than you've ever been. You're a great dad and I love you more every day. Watching you with our little critters makes my heart smile! I can't wait to keep making memories with our family.

To my dad: Thanks for supporting all of my decisions in life, even when you don't agree. Now that I'm all grown up, I shudder at the thought that my children might come to me at 18 years old and say "Hey, by the way, dad, I'm buying a house and getting married!" I look back at the time we spent together when I was taking flying lessons -- more than 15 years ago! -- and have nothing but happy memories. I was glad you were there to call on the radio when I "hopped" over the coyote on the runway on my 10th touch-and-go on my 15th birthday. It's obvious how much you love my children, your grandchildren, and I thank you for that. They love you just as much.

Have a happy day, fellas!
