I dunno if any dads read my blog or not, but if you do, Happy Father's Day to y'all. Thank you for doing your job out there and remembering that your kids may grow up to be mothers and fathers, too.
Yes, I was a daddy's girl :D My dad's only real fault was that he never grew up, but that's probably why he was always so much fun to be around when I was a kid. He remained calm in the presence of large rattlesnakes, he didn't mind when I cleaned his truck with the white cat's help, he always had a supply of firecrackers and he told fantastic bedtime stories. When I dug that huge hole in the front yard over the course of a hot summer weekend, instead of kicking my ass he filled it with water & played in the resulting mud pond with me. He remained in good humor when all my paper dolls & Barbie clothes fell out of his truck's sleeper in front of his trucking buddies.
My dad is long gone but not forgotten. Thanks for being there for me for as long as you could be.
