This intro shall be used to wish a very happy birthday to my father (look, I didn’t get him a card, so this has to do, okay?).
While I’m sure it sounds cliche, I would not be who I am today if it weren’t for him (
figuratively and literally, I guess). He has taught me how to live life openly, respectfully, and positively. I’ve always appreciated the endless support he has given me in my pursuit to become some kind of sports guy, and I’ll always be inspired by the way he raised our family. Love ya, dad.
