OK I’ll admit, this is my favorite!

Happy Father’s Day to a great man!

This is just a short post to publicly acknowledge my dad as the best dad out there! Don’t get your panties in a bunch because you think your dad is or was better than mine because it’s simply not true! Don’t dwell on it, just take a deep breath and let it go.

In my childhood part of his career was serving as Captain of the Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast, as seen here:

My dad also loves coffee so on Father’s Day, this is the most fitting gift I can think of for the man that has a direct connection to “Steadfast” and coffee.

He’s a funny man, a Godly man, a sporty man, a Hallmark movie-watching man, a kind man, a hard workin’ man, a steadfast man… and so many other qualities that I’ve admired for many years. I can’t wait to know him more, even though I’ve already known him for 41 years…

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
