My Dad

Today is my dad's birthday. He lives in Fresno with my stepmom, Jeri, and my sister, Jennifer. Jennifer will turn 18 later this year, and I can hardly believe it. She is considering attending UC Davis after high school, and I am already so proud of her. I am proud of my dad, too, because he and Jeri have raised a great kid.

My dad operates his own small business, and he has been a constant example of hard work and determination for me. I don't get to see him as often as I would like, and I am terrible at remembering to call home once in a while. Dad, even though we don't talk very often, I want you to know that I miss you and I love you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
