By Lynette to post a lovely photo of my father......right after he got out of
the shower, in only his shorts (but holding his pants) prancing
around. I was Double Dogged Dared to post this photo for his
71rst birthday today.
BUT..........First I want to say a few things.
Dad, I love you, and I know I always get you the crappiest birthday gifts ( a month or two after your birthday, if I do get you anything). Then there is that problem of me never remembering your birthday. You know how I always get the dates mixed up and think it is the 29th (I called Kristi on Sat to confirm the date), and mom NORMALLY gives me a reminder call (your lucky I remembered mom, your slacking), and I am normally too busy working to come visit you (nothing has changed in that area). But I do love you and you have been the best father a daughter could want. You are always there for me when I need you (with twenty dollar bills...... ok, you know I don't do mushy well), your'll drive three hours to my home to babysit on a three hour notice. You do so much for me and I'll never be able to repay you. Over the years I have learned so much about you that I never suspected. I would of never pictured you as the caretaker you are. I'm choking all up thinking about how you cared for your brother and sister during their last stages of life. How you didn't want to leave their sides because you wanted to be there if they needed you, til the end. You amaze me with your strength father. I'm glad I took after you (with the exception of the quick temper, of course, lol).
Happy 71rst Birthday Dad.
And because I was dared, here is that half naked picture of you...
Whew, now that wasn't so bad was it??????
Just a reminder to everyone else...
Don't forget about We Were the 80's Day on this Thursday (Mr. Linky is up)

What a great tribute to your dad! I did a post for my dad last year and he really loved it. I'm sure your dad will love this.
LOL, that wasn't so bad. You need to make it bigger though, I can hardly see him. :)
Nice post, I am sure Dad is crying right now.
Dad gives you twenty dollar bills???? ;)
Ohhhh! That is so sweet. Happy Birthday Gayla's dad. You must have done something right because you have a pretty amazing daughter.
I can't make it bigger, for some reason photoshop made it small :(

Happy birthday to your dad! He sounds like a special man.
Hi there! I hope your dad has a wonderful birthday! He sounds like such a great father and what you wrote for him is so touching! The first part (with all of your apologies about forgetting his b-day, etc.) sounds almost exactly like what happens around here! Sometimes my dad gets his (January) birthday gift in the summer! You're not the only one! :)
I also wanted to say thank you for visiting my blog and for all of your sweet comments! Also, I just crack up laughing when I see your message you wrote under the "Leave a Comment"! You have a great sense of humor! :)

BTW, I don't think I'm going to be able to participate in the 80s Day. :( I think all of my 80s photos are still packed away somewhere at my mother's house and she's not due back until she comes home to vote on Tuesday.
I know I promised myself to post something bout 80's on 30 oct.
but that day was a crowded day in office
when I remember about it, I realized that it is 31 already!
hang on, I'll post about it tomorrow. I'll let you know how I looked like then...
you were so cool. I bet you still are
and... happy birthday for your dad!
