maybe i'm an orange peel. . .

oh papa. what a guy. i am continually in awe of how great this dude is. growing up, my brother and i always thought he just had this crazy knowledge of everything. whatever our problems were, he just always seemed to know exactly what to do. we later learned that the reason he had all of this specific knowledge wasn't because he had taken a crash course in 'knowing-everything-101', but because he believes that anyone has the ability to solve their own problems. if the dryer broke, he would read books about how dryers worked and try to figure out what happened and how to fix it. if a new programing software was developed, he was the first one to tear through the manual, learning everything possible about the new equipment. he realizes how much power is in knowledge and takes things into his own hands- he isn't one to complain, he's a man of action. there are so many important things i've learned from my dad. i feel incredibly lucky to have such a good, strong male role model in my life- one who treats everyone around him with love and respect and takes pride in his work. happy father's day big guy- you're setting the bar pretty high for dudes in my life.
