My dad's birthday and Father's day

Today is my dad's birthday along with Father's Day. I love my dad and am so blessed to have him. I wrote this last year for his Christmas and thought it would work well for today.

The Father, The Wonderful Father, My dad


The father spun his little girl around and listened to her burst into giggles.
The father played video games with his little son and shared in “No’s” and “OH’s”.
The father told his wife every morning that he loved her and kissed her every night when she came home from work.
The father watched his children grow up into teenagers.
He dealt with the daughter’s back talk and eye rolls.
He dealt with the son’s brutally beat downs in Halo.
The father who dealt with what his son’s illnesses.
The father, who paid action to his daughter when she felt left alone.
The father, who held his crying wife when the world on her shoulders felt too great to bare.
The wonderful father who read his daughter’s stories.
The wonderful father who played Halo with his son even though he was going to lose.
The father, the wonderful father, my father who I am so blessed to have.
I love my dad.
