Happy Dad's Day
I know this is the kind of stuff that goes in a card but since I have written much of this many times (and meant it each time) I thought I would brag about him worldwide to my tens of readers :)
My Dad is definitely my "Dad"...
He is the best dad (and now example for me) in so many ways...(let me count them):
I think probably most memorable throughout my life, he has always been my biggest fan. I would have a really amazing photo of my Dad and me putting next to Tiger with his dad back when we played in a lot of tournaments together except of course, my dad was taking the picture. :) From all my endeavors when I was a kid, to my golf career to my business. He has always been there cheering me on.
Secondly, he has always provided for us. Of course when we were growing up but even ever since, he has been so generous in my life getting started in moving to Oklahoma, getting married, starting my business and now starting our family. I definitely could not have done it with out you Dad.
Lately and most inspiringly (wow, I didn't know that was a word until spell check didn't flag it ;) ) he has had such an amazing attitude and strength battling cancer. For the last 13 years, he has studied, changed his diet, sought the best treatments and had such a positive attitude while trying to stay ahead of prostate cancer. I couldn't ask for a better example in being strong and proactively doing what needs to be done, but at the same time keeping positive and not dwelling on it.
I Love you Dad!
Here are some great photos from the last year.
When Elaina was just a couple weeks old...
Dad and Carol on their wedding day last December.
If it has to be a tie, it's going to be a bowtie! Fits you perfectly Daddio!
It also happens to be his birthday. Happy Birthday Dad!
