Dad

Dear Dad,
Happy Father's Day (you didn't think I could go past father's day on my blog did you??) No need to be grumpy or worried.

I just want to say thank you.

Thanks for always being kind, always being consistent and always being loving

Thanks for accepting me for who I am (eventually)
 


Thanks for all the tickles
  
Thanks for the amazing stamp collection (every Australian stamp issued from 1966-1985)

Thanks for always treating me with total respect

Thanks for letting me know when I had gone too far

Thanks for finding amusement when it needed to be found

Thanks for being an honest critic

Thanks for passing on the drawing gene

Thanks for being the best Bumper ever (the kids love and adore you)

Thanks for surprising me with answers I didn't expect

Thanks for beating me at cards

Thanks for being my Dad - I love you.

With love from your daughter
