I’ve always been very close with my dad. Over the years, he’s inspired me to follow my dreams and stay grounded. I remember tickle fights and rounds of ping pong and gin rummy (both of which he always won) and the amazing advice he’d give me on our daddy-daughter dinner dates when my mom was working late. He texts me to remind me that he’s thinking about me and counts down the days until we’ll see each other again (currently 14 days until I see both my parents in California for our annual Martino family reunion!) This year I was so excited when Nordstrom asked me to do a Father’s Day post — I got the chance to really spoil him with a special gift. I texted my mom to ask what he needed and she told me he could use a nice sport coat. So I found one that I thought looked like him and added a lovely green gingham dress shirt. Everyone in my family has green eyes, so we often show them off by wearing shades of green, just like me in this post! A big Happy Father’s Day to my incredible dad. You’ll always be my number 1 guy! I love you.
