Today is Father's Day and I pay tribute to Rick, a man who is the rock of the family.
To describe Rick one must conger many adjectives. He has a personality that is charming and debonair with a little kookiness thrown in. A heart of gold that would much rather give than receive, he has overseen and guided the family through many rough times and always celebrated the good times. Rick is the most positive person I know. He is always encouraging and supporting me and the kids to reach for our dreams. He sees the silver lining and can turn a bad situation into a positive one.
A magician/ventriloquist by trade and owning the family Magic Shop, Rick knows no stranger. He has the ability to put people at ease and draw them into the world of magic - his world of magic - where there is no stage, flashing lights and loud music, but rather wooden floors, and vaudeville acts; he recreates an era when the magician had only himself to make the "magic" seem real. Over the years I have sat in the audience, stood backstage, or simply stood across the room of the shop and witnessed Rick create smiles and produce laughter from people of all ages. There have been many many times I have clapped to the point my hands hurt, or laughed at the same routine till my eyes water.
Rick is a wonderful father and grandfather. He has seen the kids through illnesses, bad dreams, doctor and teacher appointments, broken hearts, numerous bumps and bruises, and sibling spats - just to name a few. He has and will always strive to instill the kids to do "the right thing" - to have proper morals. In that the kids are grown and out on their own - I can see Rick's life teachings in each of them. As a grandfather, a child can't ask for anything better! Rick is a fun grandpa that plays, jokes, loves (and spoils) with his whole heart. There is no greater joy to me than to hear Rick and the kids or Lilly laughing together. 'Tis those simple things in life that bring the most happiness and produce the best memories. For these things and so much more, I love and wish Rick a Happy Father's Day. ~Lovey
