Dtelsdaughter

YOU WIN FOR BEST POST OF THE DAY FOR SURE!

I knew the old one but it would have taken 24 hours to reset the password so I just started a new one. @Ceptorman---"just_like_dtel" ...hmmmm...what's that tell you??

Since you mentioned it, I'm so much like my dad it's scary!!! BUT--I'm proud to be just like him. Even if we had dinner plans for him, he wouldn't remember us telling him so to him it would be like a surprise party anyway! haha!

It's not often I find myself without words but every time I think about my dad (dtel), I'm left speechless. He's a spitting image of my Paw Paw. He's sarcastic even when sarcasm is the least appropriate. He's a prankster. He is always 100% bluntly honest (he has no filter between his brain and mouth). He's the best dad I could ever ask for and an even greater Paw Paw to all of these wild hooligans he calls his grandchildren. If you ask Rylee, my 11 year old chocolate freak, she'd tell you he's hider/keeper of the chocolate covered cherries and all things sweet. If you ask Allie, my 16year old, she'd say he has the best taste in music (Bob Marley and Jamaica, mon!) and has the "most bumpin' system EVER". He really is all-around a jack of all trades. I've seen him build/construct/put together some of the neatest contraptions! He's an excellent woodworker, just like my Paw Paw was. The kids would all say "if Paw Paw can't fix it, NOBODY can. It's trash!" There is absolutely nothing my dad can't do...building, welding, cooking, operating equipment, plumbing, electrical, mechanical--you name it. It's only fitting that I sing his praises today since it's his 60th birthday!!! Dad I love you and hope you have the best birthday EVER!!!!! Thank you for being the man you are, the daddy you are, and the Paw Paw you are!!! ❤️🎉🎂🍦🎈🛍 (Please excuse the terrible iPhone picture.)
