My Daddy, My Hero!! Day 31

Today's theme is "my hero" and that was a no brainer.  It  is my Dad, my P-Paw-Di-Daddly-O, my Pep, and also Dadoo.  He has been the man in my life through all my ups and downs.  He was the one that taught me to get back on the horse when it throws you, to be tough but kind, that you can only expect to get top notch results if you put in top notch effort.  Well on that last on he actually said "First class, not half-assed." but I know what he meant.  He always said "Be smart." every day when I left for school and even when I did some dumb stuff he was always there to give a hug and tell me the lesson my punishment was going to teach me.  He is intelligent, hard-working, kind and caring, a total romantic (even we kids got candy on Valentine's and Sweetest Days) and a darn funny guy.  I am finding out that his penchant for making up nonsense songs is hereditary and am becoming more grateful for that every day.  I love ya, Pep!!  I just wish we lived closer so I could have come and taken a picture today instead of using one from last month.   This has also brought to my attention that I don't have a single recent photo of me and my Dad together so I will have to remedy that ASAP.
