"Thanks Dad" is all I have to say. My dad Doug is the best. He watches every little thing I do.

He coaches my soccer team and my sister's team too. He is a judge and takes me to work sometimes. It is fun watching him do his job.

He plays with us and jumps with us on the trampoline he built for us for Christmas.

I love him so much. I wouldn't trade him for the world, not in a million years.

My father is very, very, very nice and he hugs me a lot. He helps me fix my bike. He takes me to cool places and he takes me to dinner a lot. He goes swimming in the pool a lot with me. He loves to go swimming!

He takes me to Las Vegas Motor Speedway a lot of times. He likes to watch me do tennis!

My dad is great because he likes me for who I am and he always, always takes out business out of his busy schedule for me!

He wakes up at 2:00 in the morning and comes in my room and watches me breathing. I love that my dad can help my mom and I through the bad times. My great dad respects me for when I believe something and backs me up if I ever fall.

Some may call my dad an attorney, others may call him Chris, but I call him Dad. One thing I love about my Dad is that he is educated about the world because of moving around when he was a kid.

Now he takes me on his trips so I can also be educated about the world. Another great thing about my father is he is loving, caring and can really understand me!

We always have a wonderful time whether it is watching soccer, going to the park to play frisbee or going out to eat.

This is why I think my dad is the best member of my family and in the world.

My dad is great from every aspect. Even as a highschooler he started to do great things ... He takes time out of his day to coach me and my brothers' teams in soccer, baseball and basketball.

He always makes me laugh even when I'm sad ... He also is just a big kid.

He'll play video games with me, try to push my older brother into our pool, he plays sports with me and does everything with me.

He is great!

My dad is awesome because he ATVs with me and hangs out with me.

My dad is caring too ... He knows how to cheer me up when I am sad, and he is also a good role model for me.

I love how my dad goes to all my baseball games and compliments me on how good I play.

My dad and I made a bet that every time I hit a home run I get one hundred dollars. I love how my dad encourages me to fulfill my dreams.
