My Hero...


A father is always making his baby into a little woman.
And when she is a woman he turns her back again...
-Enid Bagnold

He is my hero.
He is my friend.
He is my father.
I thank God for him every day.
Happy Father's Day!

Besides doesn't he have the best smile?

Love you dad...

    Now I know why you call yourself the Southern Princess. I can hear your Daddy calling it from the back porch. "Hey Princess, time to clean up for supper."

    Awww thank you all! He is amazing.

    Shannon - yes, he is adorable - so cute ;o) I could not ask for a greater dad.

    Melissa - I think he did, he was surprised by a few of his gifts. My mom and I cooked one of his favorite meals and we just relaxed. So it was good.

    Matt - he is wonderful! Yes let's see if the Tide can bring home back to back! RTR!

    Anne - lol. I was definitely a 'parents' girl. I am lucky to have been close to both parents so as for which one called me Princess more it is a toss up, but yeah we have that back porch, we have those fields where I played and there are those memories of him waving to me or calling me in...I had a lovely childhood. ;o)

    Juju - Aww thanks. We were at Six Flags in that one and I bet I was talking a mile a minute while he tied my shoes. He is amazing and he is as sweet as his countenance portrays! Oh and so much fun - he's a really cool dad. ;o)
