Personally, I think I have the best Dad ever, and he's a really good boss, too... right, Shane? =) (You'll have to ask God about the good employee part.) But I see where you're going with this and I think your blog is super sweet! Bound to make your Daddy tear up even more than he does over his lost Sandy. Hugs!
Allison - How sweet! He hasn't seen this yet - he will be very touched by it. We are blessed, aren't we!
What a great way to show your dad you love him! So wonderful! :)
