you took me to buy my ballet shoes
you taught me to drive a stick
you dressed up as a punk rocker and took me trick or treating
you didn't get mad at me when I backed your car into the lake while trying to drop in the jet ski
you came to OUR college town, Iowa City, on my 21st birthday and bought me a shot
you taught me that helping a family member, a friend, a neighbor, or a stranger when its within our power to do so is an obligation
you taught me how to be Punny
you taught me the beauty of acoustic guitar
We rocked the beer tours by day and the live music and shuffle board by night in the Mile High
and most of all you taught me that you're never too old to follow your heart's desire, even if it's as simple as hopping a bike and cruising around downtown after a scrumptious dinner.
Love you dad.
