My dad is sorely outnumbered in our family, but manages to deal with the women in his life with relative ease. The three of us can be intense in our own ways, and I wear the crown as the stubborn one. I refuse help until absolutely desperate (but hardly ever hear a "I told you so"). Most times my dad already anticipates that I won't succeed (i.e., fail), but he'll let me figure that out on my own. When it comes to things that I love or am passionate about, my dad happens to be my most earnest supporter. The latest? He's actually indulging my idea of owning a Vespa. It's my mom that I won't be able to convince. Boo.

Happy Father's Day, Dad! :)
