father's day

Dearest Dad,
I love you. I love your eyes that are always smiling. I love your smile that's always partly a smirk. Capturing and recapturing the mischievous little boy that has almost grown up. I love your nose. I think I have that nose, so I'll always have a little of you with me. I love this picture. My dad teaching me how to dance. With all the ballet, tap, jazz... I still needed my daddy to guide my steps. Thank you for guiding me through life. I'm so grateful for your tenacious pursuit of adventure. you have taught me to chase after new experiences in my own life. You have shown me how to gain knowledge through the quest for excellence. By trusting me and continually having faith in me through my own struggles you have taught me to trust and not lose hope in others. I hope to give Eliza the gifts you have given me. I love you.
