I was so excited for Dad's birthday.
I was so excited for Dad's birthday. At 59, he has shown me what a hard working, caring man looks like. At that day, mom, my sisters and I decorated our home with banners and balloons for Daddy to see. When he walked through the door, tired from work, we all jumped out yelling "Surprise!" He hugged us each in turn. Over a feast of his favourite foods, we looked through old photos together, laughing at younger versions of ourselves. As the sun set, it was time for cake. We sang as loudly and off-key as possible, making Dad grin wildly. Blowing out the candles, he looked happier than I've ever seen. Opening our gifts of a couple ring for him and mom. He has given us everything without hesitation. I hope one day I can be even half the amazing parent he is. Happy 59th Daddy!
