To my dad, my hero

I don't even know where to begin - I guess that's why I am a day late - but I want to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day! I have so many amazing stories and memories about my life that would have never happened to me if it weren't for you, dad. You gave me and my sister's a life of fun and memorable experiences that I will never forget!! Thanks to you I have a LOVE of water and being out on our boat and skiing and wake boarding and knee boarding and tubing. I wish we could rewind time and go back to the days when we would spend weeks - even months - at the Colorado River. I miss the Avenger and I miss the Hallett. I love that you made it possible for us to travel the country and experience camping and hiking in the summers and snow skiing and snow mobiling in the winters. I love our road trips in the Southwind and all the places that I have been able to be. I love our "RULE" - you can tell me anything and I won't get mad and I can tell you anything and you won't get mad. You have helped through my trials and oppositions and you have always made me smile! I know with out a doubt that you love me and would do anything in the world for me and I wish I could share more memories and time with you now that I have a family. You are the best grandpa to Evelyn and I LOVE THAT!!! She knows your laugh and she loves to play with you! We can't wait to see you in a few more days and I hope you had a great Father's Day! I love you dad!
