My Dad's 80th Birthday

On this day my dad turns 80 years old!  Its remarkable he has lived as long as he has with no real health issues...unlike the majority of his family.  I sent him this email this morning:

Good morning on what is your 80th birthday!  

Every day is a blessing but 80!!!!!!!!   Today you are 80!  What a blessing it is that you have lived as long as you have…seen the things you have seen.   Daddy we have no idea what God’s plan is nor how long we have you with us but I hope you live every day you have to its fullest!   

Daddy I am so thankful to you!  Thankful that you love my children unconditionally and without hesitation…thankful that you are my dad who I adore!  

Today I ask that you take the time to take in every moment, enjoy all of your birthday wishes, and relish in us celebrating you!  We are SO grateful to you and for you! 

I love you daddy!

HIS RESPONSE:

Thank you from the Bottom of my Heart.

You and your wonderful family mean the world to me.

No Birthday Card in the world could come close to this email.

I do love Emma and Cash; they are a blessing from God.

And I love you!!! I am truly blessed to have you as my Daughter.

As I write this through teary eyes, please know how much I love you.

And thanks again for such kind and beautiful words,

My brother Stephen is flying into to celebrate our dad.  I hope this is a birthday to remember and that he has many more to come!
