On the weekend of my dad's birthday he spent his time washing the cars, helping my grandpa, and running some errands. That description alone describes who my dad is. Jacob says that his Indian name should be, "The busy beaver, because he is always working." My mom and I call him the EB (Energizer Bunny). We still have not figured out how he can keep going and going and going and going . . .
He gets up early to get to work on time, comes home and helps my mom around the house, then stays up listening and talking to mom and I most evenings. The word "lazy" and my dad are so far removed – he is truly and inspiration to me!
Ahem.
Yes, he also has his faults. (The most prominent one being that he is far too compassionate with me as his favorite daughter. Sometimes I could honestly use a good verbal spanking! Ah well, I get that from mom most of the time anyhow)
I know that you are reading this dad, so happy birthday and I love you! :)
