Missed holidays

I've missed some holiday type entries in the past several days, so it's time to catch up.

Happy Birthday Dad.
Not long ago, we wondered if we'd get to see another one of these.  We held positive thoughts and assured each other that you'd be fine, but we all worried.  My life would never be the same without you in it.  In fact, it'd be a damn sight worse.  I love you Daddy.

Happy Anniversary Kevin.
11 years ago, we got married.  A lot of folks were sure it was a mistake.  Both of our previous marriages had lasted only 2 years, and we each had a son being raised in divided homes.  We made it work, anyway.  I still believe that NOBODY else could put up with either of us, and nobody else could love us like we love each other.  Thanks for being "that guy".  I love you Kevin.

Happy Fathers Day Dad.
I won't repeat all of the things in the "Happy Birthday" section, but they apply here, too.  I learned so much from you, and am still learning today.  My car care skills impress my friends (always a plus!) and a solid understanding of how things work is a benefit I'll carry forever.  You were always willing to let me ride along on an errand, singing off tune with me to Waylon Jennings.  You let us build things and paint our bikes and tons of stuff that was probably distracting and annoying.  I love you daddy.

Happy Fathers Day Kevin.
You don'tplay poker with the guys.  You don't go to bars after work.  You don't leave the child care to me.  You are a part of who they are.  You feel bad when you fall asleep early in the evening, but it's because you are up before 4:00 to head to a very physical, outside job to work 11+ hours to take care of us.  We love you, Kevin.

There we go.  My tributes to the men I love.  Sorry they were lumped together, but you are both lumped together in my heart, so that's my excuse!  I love you guys.  You'll never know how much, but I'll try real hard to show you.
