My dad's birthday is on Saturday, May 3rd. He would be 57 years old. He passed away a little over 5 years ago. I have been thinking about him a lot so I wanted to pay tribute to him on his birthday.
The things I miss the most about my dad are his funny sense of humor (he could come up with some hilarious one-liners); the way he could put me in my place when I was acting irrational; and the conversations that I used to have with him all the time. I really loved just talking to him and getting his advice. Steve has said that especially when we were first married I wouldn't do anything without talking to him and getting his advice. I miss that so much. He was so wise and great at giving advice, even when it wasn't something that I wanted to hear. I often wonder what he would think about some of the decisions we have made since he has been gone. I know that he would definitely have a opinion (like father, like daughter). It makes me sad that Taylor is my only child that even has any memory of him. I'm so glad to know that I will see him again someday. What a blessing that has been for me. I don't think that I could have made it through as good as I have without that knowledge. I love you, Dad. I am so proud and grateful that I am your daughter. You are the best!!!

Your blog is cute. I am not smart enough to make one. The pictures of Dad are so cute. The top one always gives me the chills. I miss him too.
Wow, I can't believe it's been 5 years. He was such a great man and you always spoke so highly of him- what a wonderful legacy he left, he'd be so proud of who you are and all that you've done in the past 5 years!
What a sweet post. You're dad was awesome! I agree w/ your friend Sydney that he would be so proud of you and all you have accomplished.
