My dad is one of the most intelligent people I know. I remember when Deedee and I were little we would ask him questions,like kids do, about randomness in the world, he always seemed to know the answer. When we would ask him doubtfully,"well how do YOU know?" He would matter-of-factly answer, "Well, because Daddy's know everything." We would simply take that as truth and go about our questioning. It would often become a game of "stump Daddy" trying to think of questions that he didnt know the answer to. I cant remember a single time that we did and I think to this day I still believe that.
I also remember many times growing up watching Jeopardy and Dad would know the answer to all of the questions. We always tried to convince him that he should try out for the show and make us thousandaires! These are just a couple of examples of how smart my Dad really is and I am so proud that has dedicated a big part of his life to teaching others just a few of the things he knows.
Dad is also a very funny guy....yeah sometimes they are cheap jokes but they will always make you laugh anyways :) I think making people laugh is one of the things he enjoys most and I love that. I am proud to say that I think my Dad and I have a very similar sense of humor.
These are just a couple of the things about my Dad that stuck out to me, none over his loving and caring heart and dedication to family. He is such a great Dad and an awesome Grandaddy!
So, Dad, I hope you have a wonderful birthday! I love you so much and cant wait to see you in a couple weeks!

Okay, so Alex still says everytime he eats a Snickers bar, he thinks of your dad with the first bite -- ask your dad if you don't remember! :)
Uh-oh...you fell down on the birthday card job too? We're both in trouble! (I have impending birth as an excuse...what's yours?!)
Great post, Meghan. And so true.
