You would know that you should find a job you enjoy and do your best at it, but that sometimes employers don't have your best interest at heart. Because of that, you should always find things outside of work that give you purpose and that remind you of your true value.
You would know that sitting down to drink coffee is an essential part of every work day.
If you knew my Dad you'd know that having time for your family is better than taking the fast track. Time with family, serving, and being reliable, responsible and trustworthy is far more important than money, wealth, fame.
You'd know someone who has won over scores of high school students with one verse of "Single Cells".
You would also know the best real-life Tetris player in the world. He can pack a van, a relo-cube, or a trailer better than anyone else.
If you knew my Dad, you'd know someone who doesn't let you down, who's there in the tough times, and loves my Mom more than anyone else.
You'd know all these things because of what he does, not what he says.
Happy Father's Day Dad!

That was so touching! Thanks for sharing!!
It sounds like I picked a great Dad for you, Alyssa!
I want a guy just like the guy who married dear ole mom!
Your dad is pretty great, but I might have to argue about whether he's the best real-life Tetris player. I married one... and he's pretty fantastic! :)
OH my goodness. I followed your blog from Kristin's and was reading through it when I got to this post...imagine my suprise when I saw the pic of your dad! I didn't realize who you were!

That's so fun!! I never made the connection with who you were either. I'm going to look for you on FB.
