Happy Father's Day!

I'm taking a break from yarn-related blogging today to make a very special post for my dad. I'm reminded every day of how lucky I've been to have the parents I have. My dad is the dad that everyone else wanted to have - loving, supportive, and incredibly generous. As kids, my dad took my sister and I to spend all day at the beach, created frosting masterpieces on our toaster strudels, took me to the bookstore three times in a weekend, indulged us with an endless stream of pets we "had" to have, and a million other things. In high school, mine was the house where all of my friends hung out, mine was the dad who would spend his weekend taking us to the mall, and mine was the dad who made sure that both myself and sister were able to do anything we wanted to in life. As we transitioned to adulthood, I can not even count the number of times the two of us made mistakes both big and small, and my dad was always the one to step in and help us out however he could, financially or otherwise. It all works out in the end, of course - here is my favorite picture of my dad and I from my wedding in March 2006:



So, Dad, Happy Father's Day - I hope you are doing something fun for yourself today!
