Happy Birthday, Faja!

Today is my dady-o's birthday! He's one hell of an awesome dude. Want to know why?



For starters, he's probably the funniest man you'll ever meet. Half of my favorite expressions come from him (see: "it's darker than a bag full of buttholes in here!"). Even in insanely frustrating, awful, make-me-wanna-cry situations, he has a way of turning them around and making me laugh. And that is NOT an easy thing to do, people. (Ok, maybe it is. But he's been making me laugh longer than anyone else ever.)







Secondly, he loves his family more than anything and is also the most supportive person I know. No matter what the situation, he will get behind you and help you through it. Even if he's going through his own issues, he still puts his family first.








Also, he pretty much kicks ass at his job. Lucky for me, I got to witness how much he is loved at his job this summer. I got compliments every single day about how great he is to work with, how positive he is, how funny he is, how encouraging and hard working he is, how people just love to be around him. Definitely one proud daughter over here! (Oh, but at the office, I refer to him as Douglas. Not Faja.)





I'm incredibly lucky to have a dad like mine. One who I know will be there to get me through absolutely anything. He's the first one I call when something amazing happens, or when I'm about to jump over a cliff from a bad day. I only hope I can grow into a fraction of the person he is. (And if you've met my dad, you would see just how great he is within the first 5 minutes.)




I love you Faja, happy birthday.
