A Day For Dads

Where did the name "dad" come from?' It sounds silly :) I like it though. Of course, I just call my dad "father". I'm odd like that. Anyway, I love my dad :) he's always been there for me, and he's the one I turn to when I need help. One of the things I love best about him is that he lets me be the way I am. As I'm sure you know, I'm what many would consider weird. I really am, and I'm totally okay with that. I like myself! And I usually have something to say or do, much to my mother's dismay. She's very much geared toward the whole children-should-be-seen-not-heard idea and often tells me to be normal or be quiet. My dad is the opposite. He's always encouraging me to do my best in whatever weird thing I'm doing, and I don't recall him ever telling me to shut up (well, seriously, at least :3). He'll usually listen to what I have to say, no matter how ridiculous -or right- I may sound. And I really love that :) He tries really hard to not get super frustrated with me, which is QUITE the feat. He's pretty much the best :) so, happy Fathers' Day, everyone! Tell your dad, grandpa, uncle, best friend, whoever, that you're glad they exist :)
