I love my Dad.

Friday morning my dad arrived in Dublin for a long weekend visit. It is so great that we get these few days to hang out before he goes to Dubai. I have really and truly missed hanging out with my Dad. He is one of the few people on this earth that can really understand me without some sort of explanation... sometimes it seems he knows me better than I do myself. He understands my jokes and laughs, in a way that only he can. He has his "dad laugh" with smiling eyes that are so much like a safety blanket from my childhood that I will never give up. I love my dad and it seems that I have been missing him much more than I thought.
