Let's Do This

My Dad Is The Best Dad

This is why:

He taught me how to break noses and fingers. Awesome, right?
He’s one of the “good guys”.
One of my earliest memories is watching him reading a newspaper. I can remember thinking “I want to know what that says!”, sparking my life-long love of reading.
He instilled in me a very clear sense of right and wrong.
He has the greatest sense of humour.
I credit his half of my genes for my height.
His advice is valuable without being preachy.
He is 100% supportive of me and my crazy dreams.
No matter how much of a fool I make of myself, or how down I might get, he will always be my dad. And that’s all I need to know.

Happy Father’s Day to the Best Dad.

Today I have:

Folded towels that I washed yesterday.
Got back together with my ex-boyfriend.
Washed and reassembled all my bedclothes: two sheets, a duvet cover, and four pillow cases.
Hung up the remaining clean laundry.
Went for a walk. (A long one!)
Washed and put away two person’s worth of clothing.
Edited three short articles for a friend.
Unloaded and re-loaded the dishwasher.
Took out my trash.
Discovered how to use bullets on Tumblr.

Everyone applaud my mediocre achievements! Everyone!

This is why:

She taught me how to be patient, to forgive, and that holding a grudge is useless.
She taught me how to be respectful and kind, so now other people actually like me.
She taught me how to have faith without belittling what others believe.
She taught me how to tie my shoes, and how to read.
When she saw any talent in me she made sure I pursued it and never let me just “give up” on it. This is why I can play the piano, and love to write.
She’s a total babe. (Even if genetics didn’t give me her boobs.)
When I had a terrible day her first response was “I’ll be right there”, even though she was a whole province away.
She respects me enough to let me make my own decisions, but knows when to offer advice.
She taught me that love isn’t optional.

And this isn’t even close to the whole list.

Happy Mother’s Day, to the Best Mom.
