Pic of me as a toddler with my dad, and a recent pic of my dad with all of his girls (he does have 1 son; I'm the gal in the bottom left). I think he's the best dad in the whole world...I used to think every girl had a dad like mine, but then I grew up and discovered I was really, really blessed.
Journaling reads: I’m so proud to call you Dad ... I’ve loved being one of your girls ... a daddy’s girl ... your little Sugarplum ... when I was scared, I could always find safety and love in your arms ... when you couldn’t be with me, I’d hold your handkerchief in my pocket ... I cherish memories of fishing trips--not of the fish or our success (or lack thereof), but of the time spent with you ... talking about life and choices ... you are the standard I have measured every man against ... I’m so glad my children will call you Grandpa ... how grateful I am for your example of service, work, patriotism, and love ... not just a father but a hero too ... my hero. And I love you!!!
