Happy Birthday Papa!

It's the first year in the last 23 that I won't be there in person to celebrate my papa's birthday, so I wanted to do something special. I screened about 30 different e-cards before I came to realize that none of them were special and personal enough for him! And then it hit me... the least you deserve, papa, is a spot in my blog so my friends and family reading this can know what a great dad you really are, so here it goes:


My papa Rico

We call him 'papa' (in french) because it sets him apart from all the other 'dads' in the English-speaking world.

He's really smart!

He's a great teacher simply because he's so patient and good at describing things;
He taught me how to tie my shoes, how to ride a bike, and even how to change the oil in the car. 

He's very meticulous - when thinking of purchasing anything, he ALWAYS, without fail does an extensive amount of research, reading customer reviews and screening prices, to find the best deal and quality one can get before making a move.


Papa's beautiful hanging baskets
He appreciates the little things - watching and listening to the birds chirp in the Spring, walking on the river in the middle of the cold winter just to listen to the wind.
He a hopeless romantic - he'll sit down and watch Sissi (the girliest movie you can imagine) with me any day!
He's a Pisces, and I'm an Aries, so we butt heads ALL THE TIME and I wouldn't have it any other way.
He's an amazing cook! (missing that home-cooking right now for sure!)
He inherited his mother's love for gardening because gosh do we have beautiful flowers around our place all the time.

I could go on for quite a while, but I think you know how much I love you 'Pa, so I'll just finish by saying this:



Happy Champagne-Year Birthday!


P.S. I know how much you love your Family Guy, so I dug up this little gem! Hope you like it! xoxoxo
