Happy Father's Day!

 

[Dan with Victor at 4-5 days old, and Dan with Victor at 15 months]

I'm sure if Victor could talk, he would say "Thank you Daddy..."

...for feeding me bottles of Mama's milk late at night when I was very small;

...for staying home and building a bond with me in my early days;

...for holding me and letting me sleep on your chest more times than I can remember;

...for letting Mama take a million pictures of us together because she loves them so much;

...for playing "Rocket Baby" with me;

...for staying up late with me on nights when I wouldn't go to sleep;

...for waking up early with me even though you love to sleep in;

...for reading me my favourite books over and over again;

...for letting me touch your guitars even when you are trying to play;

...for greeting me with a big smile every day when you come home from work;

...for carrying me on your shoulders when I'm too tired to walk;

...for holding my hand and helping me down the stairs and on the street;

...for playing peek a boo and chase games and being 'the energetic one';

...for giving my friends Bill and Duckie and Lovey silly voices;

...for playing with me at the park;

...for spending time alone with me so Mama can work;

...for taking me to the store when I'm feeling restless and bored;

...for giving me my baths and playing with me;

...for listening to my 'baby' music even though you don't like it;

...for being PATIENT (oh so patient) with me;

...for being my "Didi" (and for being the best one ever).
