“Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.”
– Bill Cosby

Dear Dad, 

Happy Father’s Day! On this day, I would like to say thank you for the way you raised us four kids. It was not until I had a child of my own, did I come to fully understand and appreciate some of the things you said and did for “my own good.” 

• Thanks for making me do things, whether I wanted to or not.
• Thanks for not always giving me what I wanted but always fulfilling my real needs.
• Thanks for making me accountable for my own actions and not always taking up for me.
• Thanks for your quiet, steady presence in my life.
• Thanks for being the “king of rig.” There were many things we had because you “rigged things” your way, with your building skills.
• Thanks for not letting us whine (well……not too much).
• When we whined….. thanks for not listening!
• Thanks for doing your best at keeping me centered and balanced– my husband, your son-in-law, appreciates that.
• Thanks for the love you have given to your eight grandchildren and teaching them the lessons that their parents forgot.
• Thanks for giving me security in knowing that you would always be there for me, no matter what. 

We are grateful that you have lived to a healthy, ripe age. Your eight grandchildren are as crazy about you as your four children are!  Happy Father’s Day, Dad ~ You are in my thoughts on this day! 

 Love, Your Elder Twin Daughter
