This is super, super, super duper sweet. And I kind of think your dad + Peto’s dad = bffs. I hope they’re in the same place at the same time at some point.

Your dad sounds like an amazing man. Good luck with the running!

I forgot to welcome you to the wonderful world of running! One piece of unsolicited advice – don’t do too much too soon. From now on, advice will only be given when requested. MintyDad (again)

What a great tribute to your dad – you captured some of the same feelings I have about my dad. I don’t know about you, but all the dorky things he did in my teens are the same things I now admire as a “grown-up” (although I think that daughters never grow up in their fathers’ eyes).

I also admire that you started running… I would love to, but I don’t even know where to begin… Good luck :)

Great tribute. Made me a little weepy! (What does your dad do that he gets to go do a three year European adventure?! Lucky!)
