Enough about me...

Today the post goes to greatest man I'll ever know. My dad! My dad is 58, husband, father, grandfather, physicist, humanitarian, and Iditarod musher! He achieved his life long dream when he crossed into Nome at 4:17 am Alaska time this morning. There is not a single soul I know of that deserves it more. His story is on his site with stats and more on the race itself. (check links on sidebar) He was voted most popular rookie of the year, got the humanitarian award in an earlier qualifying race, and is called a hero from a fellow musher he helped near the beginning of the Iditarod. I couldn't be more proud. My dad has his PhD in Physics. He is a story teller and writer. He is the most compassionate man I've ever known. He is the voice of reason when I need it. He genuinely listens to you. His motto in life is that even a mud puddle can reflect the sunshine. I honestly don't know anyone with his consistant optimism, grace, strength, courage, purity, gentleness, kindness, respectfulness, and love of life.
I am truely blessed to have such a soul as my father.
