Today we volunteered to ask businesses in the Woodstock Neighborhood of Portland to put up these @indivisible.org signs saying that immigrants are welcome in their establishments.

Our tribute is a 15-minute read (tissue breaks & roflols not included).
We wrote it as sisters and as daughters.
We hope it makes you smile and maybe remember.
And if you feel like sharing? We’d be honored.

Dad Jokes and Zebra Toenails: A Father's Day Tribute — Village Values

He sang a custom Motown classic to our Mom:
“Four Times a Lady.”
Because they had four kids together.

We’d ask, “Daddy, where are you going?”
His answer: “Crazy.”
It took years for us to get the joke.
And now?
We’d give anything to hear it again.

After years of us begging him, Dad didn’t quit smoking for his health.
He quit for our future.

Dad made a reindeer out of a log.
When his kid's gift was late, he staged coal leading to the chimney where the Barbie RV was “stuck.”
Classic Dad: turning near-crisis into Christmas magic.

He didn’t need a blaze to prove his bravery.
He was courage under, before, and after fire... as a firefighter and as a Dad.
It wasn’t the elite protein diet of ostrich butt, giraffe neck, and zebra toenail.
It was all him.

We weren’t sure we’d share this.
Some memories are tender. Some are funny.
Some both.
But what our Dad taught us about joy, work, humor, and love is bigger than us.
This is for him... and maybe… someone you miss too.
