#3 Fathers Day - A tribute to my Dad

So yesterday was Fathers Day. This is a day that I get to celebrate as the father of 1 (soon to be 2) of my own kids as well as Dad to 2 more that live with me. One of my favorite quotes is "Anyone can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a Daddy". I Have a Daddy. He is a great man and the more that I look at him the more I realize that I am becoming him, and I couldn't be happier. If I am in as good a shape as my old man when I am his age I will be proud. He spent the past Friday climbing Mt. Rainier. For those of you who don't know Mt. Rainier is the tallest peak in the lower 48 states. This from a guy who sits at a computer nearly 80 hours a week and it nearing 55 years of age. His physical prowess is not to be outdone by his greatness as a Dad, Provider, and Friend. He is my ski buddy. He treats my mother, my sisters, and ,perhaps most touching, my wife as though they are the most precious commodity on earth. And I have to say that they are. I have learned a great deal form my Dad and I am PROUD to share his name (yes as many of you know JR is just another way of saying Junior, as in George Jr.) My Dad couldn't be a better example to me of how to treat loved ones and people in general. I, as a father, have been blessed to have such a great example of how to do the job right. I love you Pop. Happy Fathers Day, and thank you!
