Happy Father's Day a day late...but that's us Leopardi's for ya

Happy Father's Day to my Dad who:

Woke us up on Saturday's with his guitar and let us join him in singing all the 60's and 70's favorites.

Who never yelled at us for putting our little hands all over his music equipment, his tools, his books...he always encouraged us to learn however we needed to.

Who cheered me on when I was told I was too short to play soccer, to fat to get a dancing job and too young to get an A in my Oral Presentations class. He always said it didn't matter what people said, it mattered what I did. The man made me go to class and dispute my B in OP class..I eventually got an A.

Who worked hard for his family of 6 kids.

Who still works hard.

Who taught me that good cooking involves dancing!

Who believes in dreams and goals more than most people I know.

I love my Dad.

Happy Father's Day also to my Dad brothers Rodger and Jay, to the people who were fathers to me when I was far from home - Mr. Smith, Mr. James, Rev. Brett. And Happy Father's Day to the online Dad's - Ed, Chris, CW. I hope your day yesterday was awesome!
