Tribute to my Daddy

My daddy turned 60 today! For those of you who haven't met my father you are missing out. I can't imagine life without my daddy. When I was little and we still lived in California I remember him always coming home smelling like diesel and pine. He was a logger. He would sit on his brown recliner and I would climb up on his lap and watch tv with him. On the weekends he would take many hours to work on making our pool beautiful, and then we would jump in and play jaws. He was such a kid back then. We had a three wheeler that he would ride around the yard and do wheelies on. He even invented Socco which is soccer on 3 wheelers. Kinda dangerous. Anyhow, I won't bore you with endless stories of my father, but he is a great man. He has a distinct laugh that fills a room. His whole body scrunches up when he laughs. He loves a lot without saying I love you. My dad has the best smile with a cute little mustache that makes him look like Mario. He is Italian through and through. So, Happy Birthday Daddy! Thanks for always loving me and always teaching me to follow my dreams and laugh about life. Love you.
