Happy Birthday Dad

So today my dad turns 50. As most of my friends would say, it's about time! I think actually wishes he had a few more years to spare before 50. I won't be there to celebrate with him this year. He is a high school/community college teacher and a football and basketball coach. Tonight he will be coaching his Freshman squad, I think as far as he is concerned the best birthday present would be walking away tonight with a win. For his sake I hope that wish comes true. My dad and I didn't always get along and there have been many times when we haven't seen eye to eye on things. But one thing is for sure in my life...when my chips are down and things aren't looking so good for me, my dad is one of a select few I know I can count on to have my back. And over the last few years his advice and opinion has meant a lot to me. So thank you dad and I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Oh ya, and here's to hoping the Dawgs can destroy the Storm!
