Happy Birthday Dad


Today is my Dad's birthday. I feel my adoration for him can be summed up in the letter that I wrote him when I was around 8 years old:

Dear Tom,

Thank you for taking care of me even though you are mean.

Love,
Nadja

Even though we are not biologically the same, I'm the most like you. Thank you for not beating me when I was a teenager even though you had to writhe around on the floor to keep yourself from doing it. Some people may say we are dysfunctional. Well, we would punch those people.

Love ya.

LOL! I still have the letter! And it actually said "Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick, even though you are mean about it."

He's going to laugh when he sees this.
