Dad,
Thank you. Thank you for spending countless hours at home, in the yard, managing to make our house look neat and well ordered. Thank you for being a constant supporter of me throughout all my years of playing sports. Thank you for constantly trying to motivate me to get up and be productive, despite my laziness.
Thank you for wanting to rub off your common sense on me… I think it might actually be working (slightly). Thank you for always having been my pillow during family time, even though you fall sleep almost every single time.
Thank you for giving me good genes, and for telling me about your daily progress at the gym. Thank you for inspiring me in so many different ways; for showing me that striving for perfection is the best path to take, even if I don’t quite get there.
Thank you for judging me, criticizing me, and shaping me… I always need it. Thank you for being there for me, always. Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for being not only my father, but someone I can call “Dad”. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.
Love,
Mike
