Polo here I know it's late (don't shoot) but this post is for all the dads out there (especially my own). I feel like every year father's day is over shadowed by mother's day, at least when I was growing up mother's day always seemed to hold a bit more celebration than father's ever got. So here is my piece of advise, celebrate your dad(s), even if it is a few days late. Tell him that you love him and all the things in your life you appreciate or have because of him. So here goes:
Thanks Dad for all the things you do and have always done, like calling for no reason but to check that I'm still alive, for listening to and dealing with all the family drama and craziness, for sticking around even when we said mean things (which we probably never apologized for and definitely never really meant). For taking care of pets who without you (lets be serious) probably could have called the pet police for neglect, for teaching us how to survive in the wild mountains of CO, for teaching us how to find our way home (even if you would never stop for directions yourself). For getting up early to make delicious breakfast even though we'll most likely growl at you for being so awake at such an hour, for making coffee the smell that will forever remind me of home, for buying the peanut butter I like even when you prefer something else. Thank you for letting me be me and for being my dad I couldn't imagine having a better one.
To all you dads out there, remember that it if the infinite number of little things you do in your children's lives that they will hardly ever think to thank you for, that will be the things they recall when a person asks why they love their father.
As always stay nerdy!
(and happy belated Father's day)
