Dear Dad,
It would be easy just to say Happy Father's Day and this post would be done but really it runs much deeper than that. Thank you for showing me what being a father and a husband is all about. Thank you for instilling in me an ethic and notion that you have to work hard to get where you want to be. Thank you for showing me that a smile and a bit of humor can open more doors than just a ho-hum hello.
Thank you for giving me a connection to the outdoors and for camping trips fishing for bluegills under a red and white bobber even if fishing wasn't really your thing. Thank you for always being involved in everything that I did growing up from church classes as teacher to sports teams as coach.
Finally, thank you for being my dad. I love you.
Postscript... Thank you for floating the Pere Marquette with me this past spring. It was really neat to share a day on the water with you. That large steelhead that got away is just a good reason to get back there again soon.
