Dearest Dad...

...Happy Father's Day! You are the best. Words cannot express how much I love you, appreciate you and am truly grateful to have someone like you in my life. Poor Butchie though...always surrounded by the ladies! My sister and I are 8 years apart then in 2006 my dad got remarried and our stepsister is 8 years younger than me so the poor guy gets through with one of us then has to start all over!

Here he is with me and two friends in Atlanta on a Cardinals roatrip! It was rally cap time!



Here is he on my wedding day with me, my sis and my niece...again all girls!


And here's a picture that I doubt anyone has ever seen before. My dad and I are pretty close...from 8th grade on it was just him and me and our dog Star (female of course!!!). So while he was happy I'd found someone to share the rest of my life with and I was happy to start my life with Mattie...walking down the aisle to be "given away" by my dad was pretty hard for both of us. I promise though we were happy!!!


So thank you Butchie for being the best you could be. I think you did a great job and I love you so much!
