I’ve been so happy today. I’m happy and joyous every day, but today is an especially wonderful day of celebration. On this day, my awesome, incredible, and one of a kind father turns 81 years young. I am so thankful that I have been blessed to have a father who takes exceptional care of my mother, who took care of me and my two siblings, who illustrates the true meaning of what a God fearing man, husband, father, dad, grandfather, friend, uncle, and brother he truly is to all of us. My parents have been married almost 57 years and they are the cutest couple. Despite my mother’s health challenges and her overcoming so many obstacles to be where she is currently health wise, my father is right there by her side and provides for her every need and want. Even today, I am 41 years young and I’m still my daddy’s little girl. I can still blink my eyes in a certain way and say “daddy” in that certain tone of voice for him to just say, “what do you want girl?” What a great feeling to know that I have been blessed with a true father figure in my life and that he is in good health in his 81st season of life. People don’t believe that he is 81 because he continues to walk at least 6 miles per day, continues to go on fishing trips with his family and friends, and continues to take my mother shopping whenever she wants to go. It’s so cute because they both go shopping together for church attire. If my mother buys a new dress, my father had to buy a new suit. It’s just a wonderful experience and a truly wonderful example of what a loving marriage is all about and a dedicated and loving father is to be like. I’m grateful and thankful. Happy birthday Daddy!!!!
