Being Father's Day and all and me being a male who doesn't remember these kinds of things until the actual day, I thought I'd share a few thoughts about my Pop until his card arrives in the mail. The more I think about it, the more I believe that this is actually cooler than a card since there's pictures, but we are bound by tradition I suppose.
Pop, you never cared much for scrambled eggs, but you ate them when they were made for you Christmas morning 2004. You've always been a good example of doing what you need to do or doing what someone expects you to do even if you may not want to.
Pop has always enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. You hear about it most vocally from Mom, but I know Pop enjoys their time too.
Pop, you've been a great example to the 4 of us boys and I couldn't have wanted a better father to emulate.
You got me (and some of my brothers) interested in physics, math, and personal organizer computers (how random).
Any success I have as a father I owe to my Pop. Don't worry, I'm not trying to blame my shortcomings on you, just giving credit where it's due. You've been a model example of a priesthood bearer and I hope I can be like you someday.
Love,
Derek (& family)
