Happy Father's Day, Daddy

"We love you as high as the sky and as deep as the sea!" -Tiegan

"Daddy, you're the BEST!" -Kennedy

Thank you for praising me when I accomplish something that is important to me.

A Daddy is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows

what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens,

suggests, and defends.

A daddy can be one

of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs,

but when things go wrong,

A daddy can be patient

and helpful and strong.

In all that you do,

a daddy's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him

deep in your heart.

And each year that passes,

you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud

just to call him your daddy!

Thank you, Daddy...for listening and caring,

for giving and sharing,

but, especially, for just being you!

Thank you for chasing and playing hide and seek with me. -Tiegan
Thank you for playing catch and ball with me. -Kennedy
Thank you for wrestling with me. -Braden

Love you, Daddy!!!
