If your father is anything like mine, I would say you are pretty lucky.

Not only is he hilarious, but he is also one of the most down to earth people I have come to know.

Below are 14 extra reasons to tell your first, and best, Valentine thank you and that you love him today:

14. He may not be the best cook, but his pizza will never be denied. NEVER.

13. He is always there to help out with your car problems… Whether it’s your brakes, engine, oil, or motor… HE IS THERE (and armed and ready with AAA if necessary).

12. He often reminds my brother and me of how proud he is of us.

11. However, he continues to push us to keep improving.

10. Your success is HIS success. (Who doesn’t want bragging rights about their kids?)

9. Even when I am sad, he knows how to make me laugh and put a smile on my face.

8. He works hard and as often as he can in order to help get both kids through school unscathed, which has taught me the importance of work ethic.

7. He is good to my mother. The way he loves her shows me what I deserve to get from a man someday.

6. He never forgets about me whenever he wins at golf (thanks for the extra cash, Dad).

5. He is generous. Between his home, his money, and his time… he is always generous.

4. He has a genuine, kind-heart. His manners are something that everyone should attain.

3. Even when I lose faith in myself, his faith in me remains.

2. He is the most consistent man you will ever meet.

1. No matter what the both of you go through, he will ALWAYS love and cherish you.

Thank you, Dad, for all that you do -- it doesn’t go unnoticed. I love you. Happy Valentine's Day!
