Happy Birthday Daddy!!

My Dad's birthday was this past saturday, September 13th. We took Chloe shopping for some presents that we could take out to the cemetary because I get tired of taking flowers out all of the time. Chloe found this little scarcrow and insisted that she needed to buy it for Papa's birthday. She was so excited on saturday morning to go to the cemetary and give her present to papa so we got up early and left for the cemetary with presents in tow. Once we were there Andy helped her put he little scarcrow in the ground so that it would stand up and she was beaming. I think that she was just so proud of herself that she picked out a present all by herself and delivered it with only a little help from her dad. We also bought a little rain guage that had these cute little garden gnomes. We don't really know what the point of that really was other than we thought it was really cute and we were running out of options. Before we left Walmart the night that we were looking for presents I took Chloe over to look at the toys and found a cool little '54 Chevy Bel Air toy car. When I was a little girl I used to buy my dad little toy cars for his birthday, Father's Day, Christmas or whenever I could think of a good reason to buy one. My dad really loved cars and he always wanted a '57 Chevy Bel Air, so I bought him the closest thing I could find.
My dad was an amazing person and he has been greatly missed by a lot of people these past three years. I really miss the advice that he used to give me whenever I had any life changing decisions to make, and right now we have several of those changes that need to be made and I wish that he could give me some advice now. He was always a great dad and did everything he could to take care of us, and I am sure that he will always be watching from the other side guiding us and protecting us.
Happy Birthday Daddy, I miss you so much and love you every day!!!
