MY DAD! My Dad Cyle is the best Dad ever cause he always makes time for me and my brother no matter how busy he is. He wrestles, plays and colors with us. He is nice, awesome and funny. He helps us with homework and always makes me feel better when I’m sick. My funniest memory with my Dad is when we played with a vacuum cleaner hose making noise, we laughed so hard we couldn’t breathe and mom took pictures. I have lots of good memories. I love him so much. I want to be like him when I’m a Dad!
