My dad.
My "pop-belly", gentle dentist, cough-crying, hug me so tight I can't breathe, tell the same jokes a million times, daughter protecting, insightful, inspiring, God fearing, Sunday comics reading, Bugs Bunny cartoon loving, t.v. watching, Elvis look-a-like, piano playing, bass clef singing, sensitive, big handed, ballroom dancing, always giving when receiving is needed, quote stealing, always whistling dad.
Today I cleaned my room - because dad always quoted "cleanliness is next to Godliness".
Today I watched a movie - because dad loved the movies.
Today I read a book - because dad loved to read.
Today I ate ice cream - because dad loved ice cream.
Today I popped pop corn - because dad was the best popcorn popper that ever lived.
Today he's been gone for six years.
Today I missed my dad.

I really hate to make this touching memory a funny thing, but I can't really help it. When you said you popped popcorn, because your dad was the best popcorn popper ever, I thought that it said:
Today I POOPED popcorn, because my dad was the best popcorn POOPER ever. Sorry. I really am. But right now I have the biggest smile ever on my fave and I hope you do too. I miss you and the boys!! Tell them I said hi.
