Dedicated to my Dad

Call it cheesy, but yes my next blog post is about my dad because it's Father's day and I wanted part of my gift to my dad to be this.  I hope that you have or will do something or the same for your own dad.

I wrote a poem for my mother, and that was cute, but I don't think I'm going to do that for my dad (sorry dad).  But I think what would be worth mentioning are all the things I think I get from my dad.

My fascination with science-fiction, I get from my dad.
A desire to learn new things and keep learning, I get from my dad.
My love of science understanding how the world works, I attribute to my dad.
My work ethic, and sticking to a job until it's done, I learned through my dad.
Dedication and love of the Gospel.
The geekiness inside of me that enjoyed watching Star Trek: The Next Generation, from my dad.
Riding a motorcycle and feeling the wind all around me, my dad.
A desire for adventure and new places, people, things... my dad.
A fascination with technology and innovation, from my papa.
Speaking to people I don't know and finding something in common, I get from my dad.

These and more are just a few of the things that make me who I am.  I am grateful for these gifts and that I have been taught well.  Thank you Dad, for teaching me; for being a part of my life.
