Happy Birthday, Dad!!
1. Hard work brings good things, as well as being its own reward.
2. A deep and abiding love for French cheeses.
3. A love for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
4. To always learn and enjoy learning and knowledge. I remember taking AP Chemistry with Dad and how much he would enjoy discussing the principles, even after we had done the problems.
5. How to be a good and sympathetic listener.
6. How to understand the principles of the gospel--to focus on trying to do good things in my life and not sweating other stuff.
7. For every problem under the sun, there is a solution or there is none; if there is one, hurry and find it, if there isn't, never mind it.
8. To enjoy a well crafted and well-worded sentence (tho this, of course, isn't a complete one).
9. To enjoy analysis and discussion. To learn through those things.
10. To have fun and help others to have fun.
11. That service is always a good idea.
12. To try new foods.
13. To love club soda.
14. To mow lawns, use tools, and be independent.
15. To put person over task or achievement.
You are the best, wisest, handsomest, funniest, most fun, most intelligent Dad in the world. Love you and hope you have a great day!
xoxo
