"Daddy, because of you I know I'm the prettiest girl in the world."
At the first church service we went to this morning, the most adorable little girl, probably four or five years old, said this in honor of her dad. I bawled. I missed my daddy more in that moment than I ever remember before.
So, Daddy, this is for you.
In the same service, the pastor defined a hero: one who is willing to love and to serve.
You have always loved your family, even when it was near impossible. Sometimes you were hard on us, but those smacks upside the head were always deserved and always for teaching. You work hard for us, more than most men, trying to give us everything you can. But Daddy, sometimes time spent with you means so much more than a new toy.
I love your hugs, they are enveloping and strong. I miss your hugs, and I can't wait to get home to a hug. You are a wonderful Dad, and I am blessed to be your child.
This is my little Father's Day shout out.
Until next time, hug your dad.
