Dear Dud, Rent, Fater, Andrew, Dad: Thank you for being there. My memory is full of happy times spent with you. We watched baseball together, played together, talked together, fouht together – heck, we even built an epic Lego train set together! Time together. Our time together. Special time together. Thank you for believing in me. You let me follow my dreams and gently nudged me in the right direction, or suggested a better path when I went off track. Thank you for being a rock. As with most families, we’ve faced a few challenges. Even though it’s been a bumpy ride at times, with a few massive boulders along the way, (of my own making) you have always been reliable, strong, loving and with an unswerving determination that we will get through things together. Thank you for being fun. Time with you has always been enjoyable; because of your determination to look at the lighter side of life, even the more mundane times together have been brought to life by your energy, enthusiasm and unfailing desire to enjoy life in all its fullness. Thank you for setting an example. As a Dad, you’re my number one role model. Just by being your son, you have shown me and taught me everything that I need to be a good, positive and encouraging Dad to my own children. Beyond that, you have demonstrated loyalty, commitment, enjoyment and many other characteristics that I hope to inherit in similar measures. Thank you for being ‘Poppa’. A new generation is now enjoying getting to know you and learning from you as their grandfather. You’re displaying the same characteristics which lit up my childhood, and your energy levels remain seemingly undimmed by the advancing years. Thank you for not being perfect. Nobody’s perfect, even though the stuff I’ve written above may make it sound like you are! But you’ve shown me that even though we all have bad days and we all have faults, there’s no need to be restricted or held back by our limitations. To put it simply, THANK YOU for being Dad.
