Cheers to all the dads out there reading this post! There’s one dad in particular, however, that I think is pretty great. Here are just a few of the reasons why!

Dear Papa Bender,

I’m so lucky to have a dad who has inspired me to be healthy from the beginning.

You’ve provided advice and support every step of the way, not to mention good humor.

We’ve been through a lot together — events that range from small to monumental.

Through it all, you’ve always told me to “start fast and finish strong.” I am the person I am today because you have always challenged me to do the best that I can in everything I set out to do. No dream is impossible.

But if and when the going gets tough, I just remember that the tough do the polka.

It makes everything better.

Thanks for inspiring me. Thanks for loving me. Thanks for being the World’s Best Dad.

Happy Father’s Day, Papa Bender! Here’s to another year of blogworthy meals. 😉

Love,

Bender
