65 years ago today, my Dad was born in Birchtree, Missouri! And 35 of those years, he's been an amazing father to me (and my sister and 3 brothers!) I have to say that my appreciation for my dad has probably multiplied by the billions since I've become a parent myself. So many things that I used to resent or roll my eyes at as a child are now things that I strive to instill into my own children. I love the saying about how "your parents become wiser the older you get." You just don't GET IT when you're a kid! I'm sure I wasted alot of time ignoring a wise word of caution, or just plain trying to get out of doing things that would've helped me be the better ME that God intended for me to be. But I like to think that a huge portion of it DID sink in!
Dad, I LOVE you, and I thank you for everything you taught me, for the Godly examples you showed me, and for being such a great "Dampa" to my children! Happy Birthday, Daddy!
