To Dad:

Father: Friend, Advice-giver, Teacher, Helper, Encourager, Realist

Dad, He is the man who held the firm line of discipline in love and whose opinion matters most. He is the provider and protector of the household, and yet took time to teach us to play catch or lead us on excursions of the imagination by reading us to sleep in childhood. 

And though there are times we may not always see eye to eye, we knew there was love wanting our best interest at heart. He has taught us by example in how to treat people, to take a stand for convictions, and to befriend those in need. To achieve his approval is the most encouragement you ever need.  And no matter how old one may grow, he is Father.
