I love my dad! He is a really neat person who is always willing to help out whenever asked. Recently he was asked to do a special job -- play Santa for some children in his community -- and, of course, my dad said yes (after pretending to be offended that perhaps his own tummy was the reason he was asked). Dad, it wasn't your tummy, or even your beard. It was your spirit, your kindness and love, your generosity, and your ability to bring a smile with your, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" I know those kids were happy, and you were the reason. You give me so many reasons to be happy, too!
