(Belated) Father's Day

I celebrated Father's Day with my family tonight! We're 16 days late, but I'm glad I had the chance to appreciate my dad for the amazing person that he is. On the actual Father's Day, I was still in Southern California going to Camp Kesem, and one of my sisters had a softball tournament that lasted the whole day. One of the things that really stuck out to me today was how much my dad supports me in everything I do. Even though I was initially admitted to UC San Diego as a Winter Quarter Admit and a Cognitive Science/Human Development major, my dad did everything he could to support me in switching my admission to Fall Quarter and, most recently, to a Human Biology major. He helps me pay for my tuition and room and board, so I can focus on being a good student and having fun in college. When I called my dad excited to tell him that Camp Kesem raised its full budget and that I was going as a counselor, he didn't even mention that I wasn't going to be home for Father's Day. And when I applied for InterVarsity leadership and got rejected, he listened to my heart broken cries and pain.

My dad isn't the "Number 1 Dad" or "Best Dad in the World." No one is. I love my dad for who he is, for his weaknesses and strengths.
