My Dad

Who bought a plane ticket and flew down for 3 days to help his little girl and his grandson get moved

Who made me a delicious egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast - better than any egg and cheese sandwich I could ever make myself

Who brought me a vanilla latte on a Sunday morning

Who put the outlet protectors in every outlet in our new apartment

Who organized my clothes in my new closet - sweaters, shirts, dresses, all in order thanks to him

Who put the new light plate on in LC's new room

Who spent between 9 and 11pm making taking 2 carloads of boxes and various stuff from our old apartment to our new apartment on a Saturday night

Who went to the grocery store at 8:30pm on a Saturday night and came back with 8 boxes to pack things in

Who methodically and dutifully packed up the towels in the guest bathroom closet

Who rocked my sweet baby to sleep every night & who got up in the middle of the night with me to try to get LC back to sleep

Who bought a new bed for our guest room - that we picked out together - in about 10 minutes

Who patted me on the back, gave me hugs, and told me that I am a wonderful mother

Who bought me lunch and dinner for 3 days straight

Who filled up my car with gas right before he left

Who came down to help his little girl, no matter the expense, the strain or the heartache it caused him in knowing that we were moving down the street, not back to MD to be closer to him.

To my Dad:
I love you more than you'll ever know. And I can't thank you enough for this past weekend. I couldn't have done it without you. You do know you're the best Dad ever right? .. well now you do :)
