Happy Father's Day, Teddy!

Happy Father’s Day, Ted. You are a wonderful, wonderful daddy, and a wonderful, wonderful husband. Lilith and I are blessed to have you. Thank you for always playing dress up, drinking innumerable cups of invisible tea, and laying in the dirt on command when Lilith asks you to pretend to be Lightly Drowned Prince Eric. Thank you for taking care of us when we're sick, and hugging us when we're blue. Thank you for always being there when we need you, and for always being patient, kind, funny, and compassionate. Thank you for everything you are and everything you do. You make your womenfolk happier than you can imagine. We love you.
