I also want to wish my Dad, Aden, a very Happy Father's Day.

He always worked so hard to take care of the family...sometimes the graveyard shift, which I'm sure sucked! :D  

Some of the memories I have of my Dad:

He always had a bunch of change in his pockets...I'm talking a lot!  You could hear him coming. :D  Sometimes he would have keys and a pocket knife in there too.

We always knew when Dad got home from work to clear out of "his chair" so he could relax. 

When I was in kindergarten, my parents brought cupcakes in for my Birthday.  My friend Darla said, "your Daddy is so cute!"  Still makes me laugh that she said that...and that I remember it.

   

I remember a trip to Missouri and being in a museum gift shop somewhere and I REALLY wanted this corn husk doll.  Well, my Dad was chatting with the curator and didn't hear me asking for it.  Once outside, I cried and he took me right back in and bought it for me.  Was I spoiled?  Probably.

My Dad was a machinist and I always thought he could make or fix anything.  Anytime I found a nut, bolt or screw on the ground, I would bring it home because I KNEW Dad could use it for something.

We didn't take too many family trips but the one time we flew to California, I wasn't scared.  We were flying American Airlines and thats who my Dad worked for so the plane had to be safe.  

When we were little, we had a family membership to the neighborhood pool.  My Dad would get right up on the diving board and do the best jackknife dive!  I thought he was pretty cool.  He would also let my friends and I climb on his back and he would swim around giving us "dolphin rides".

When I started driving, he made sure I knew how to check the oil, check the battery, check the air pressure in the tires and how to change a tire.  These skills have come in handy LOTS of times.

After he retired, he offered to run errands for me.  This was great because I was working 2 jobs and taking a night class at the time.  He was a life saver!

When I worked for the United Way, he was my most reliable volunteer during campaign time.  I loved having him at the office.  

Always in a good mood and happy to help with whatever needed to be done.

My Dad has always been there to love and support us.

  

I love you Daddy!
