21 Things I Love about Ma Pops

Today was a great day consisting of early morning World Cup games, delicious breakfast, basking in the sunshine at Jeremy's football game, cooking out, listening to Salsa music, presents, and pics...all in the company of the man of the day - ma pops.


I love...


1. His sense of humor
2. He gives 110% in everything he does
3. When he says “There’s a saying in Spanish…”
4. His elaborate stories that always require some sort of diagram, drawing, or map
5. How he can use metaphors to describe almost anything
6. His macaroni…among many others dishes
7. His 'uniform' - soccer shorts and a cut up sleeveless t-shirt
8. He would do anything in the world for his family
9. When he texts me “Sap”...that's it. just Sap. (meaning "what's up?")
10. His crusty feet and his eyebrows…or lack there of
11. He is always making sure I have everything that I could possibly need
12. Watching him dance with my mom and when he twirls me and/or my mom when dancing
13. He never fails to get an ab-workout in while watching tv (his mat)
14. He will help anyone when in need, and truly likes to
15. His sense of nationalism
16. that He served in the Air Force
17. His overused jokes that never seem to get old to him
18. His unconditional love for Lola (however odd it may be)
19. The way he designates nicknames for EVERYONE

20. The way we joke together

21. His sense of style...I think he is a pretty hip dude.

(she's replaced me)

The list could definitely go on for days. I love and admire him more than he will ever know. I think the world of him. He is an amazing person and I am so lucky that I can call him my dad. Happy Father's Day Pops. Uda Uda Best
