Happy Birthday Dad!!














Happy birthday old man!!  

Well, old man, but certainly not old!  You fit in so well with kids and animals because you are young at heart and always up for a good time. You being young at heart is what makes you so endearing to all. Whether you are locked in a cage, pretending to fit in a box, standing on your head, enjoying a happy hour (anytime of day), rough housing with animals or out playing every sport known to man with the grandkids, you are a great time!!  And on a more serious note, I am truly lucky to have you. Your wisdom, knowledge and love is immeasurable. I frequently wonder, when the kids ask me questions, how in the world will I have the answers like dad always does. I can literally ask you most anything and you will come up with something!  I have always said you were the smartest person I know!  Over here we love you very much!  You are an amazing papa and father!  Here’s to many more fun times together!  Happy birthday Dad!!

    Now you're just trying to make me cry. I love these pictures, and more importantly love your post and you. I could not be more blessed than having you and your sisters as my daughters. And, as you probably know, my answers to those questions of yours was me just making shit up. Very happy to be spending time with you again. Love
