Dadversations

Good conversation is one of my favorite things in the world.

Good conversations with my dad are even better.

The prime place for our conversations happen in the study. I'll come into to grab something, say 'hi' to my dad, and end up sitting down. Soon thereafter, I am caught up in wonderful conversation.

Being away at college has helped me learn to appreciate my parents even more. Whether it be a random text saying I'm a cute chinchilla or a crazy message from him saying as little as "I love you" makes me so happy and thankful for such a strong, inspirational man in my life.

One thing that I love about my dad is that from the minute he sees my face, he can tell how I'm doing. I can attribute parts of my enthusiasm and energy in life to my dad's excited personality that he has shown me. Having the opportunity to sit down and chat with him about anything - my friends, my struggles, my challenges, my goals - is such a blessing and so special.

Thank you, Dad, for making me laugh and smile, for encouraging me to share my gifts to better glorify God, for loving me unconditionally, and for teaching me how to be a better person.
