Father's Day

Mr. Raymond Dale Heinemann the First.

Also known as Dale,

Dad,

or when I really want something,

Daddy.

You've taught me to be 

adventurous,

check the fluids in my car

and always be prepared.

You've taught me to 

step back and take a moment

to just soak it all in,

to make memories.

You've taught me some great skills

like how to shoot a rifle carefully,

how to talk while breathing in,

and that prayer is is always Plan A.

Coyboy Baths,

stroking my forhead to fall asleep,

family trips to Harrison,

camping,

graduation and walking me down the aisle.

You've been there for me through all of it.

And soon,

you will be there to hold my first baby.

I love you Dad!

First time Daddy!

who will be 103 this year!
