Happy Father's Day!

You were Always there for me...for Everything! You took care of me when I was sick...held me when I was scared and kept Every promise you ever made to me. You sat still while I put makeup on you and painted your fingernails..HAhaaa...and laughed till you cried when you saw the results! And everytime I got "off the path", you were there to gently bump me back onto it. I love you more than all the stars in the sky...forever and ever...
