I love how you take care of all things imaginable in our family. You work so hard to keep us shoveled out, unplugged, in stock, out of debt, in gear, full of gas, paid up, up to date, and nice and warm.
You make us all feel loved and protected. You're kind, generous, fun, dependable, affectionate, and you don't mind getting out of your comfort zone every now and then.You know how to make each child feel special.
You take time to mentor, encourage, and counsel. You are always a good example. I love how you call our sons, "my boys."
I love watching you enjoy the little ones and them enjoy being with their poppa.You are understanding, interested, and supportive. You love without ceasing. You are full of faith and integrity. You are wise leader. I love to watch you guide our stake and still have fun in the process. I love how you love our daughters with devotion and tenderness . . . and the example of goodness and service that you are to our sons.
I LOVE being a grandparent with you and hope we have many, many more. Most of all I love your compassion, your sincerity and the way you make me feel so secure.
A very happy birthday to my eternal companion and the love of my life. Don't go anywhere, the best is yet to come. I love you!
Awwww...we absolutely loved this post. Although, the picture of Dad shoveling snow at the cabin made Jimmer kind of mad. "I go cabin too!!!!" (Jim)
ReplyDeleteDad, we love you so much. Everything...every little word...mom said in this post is absolutely true. No one could have said it better. You are ALL of those things, to ALL of is in the family and all whom you love and serve. I try daily to be like my dad. I carry your example with me always.
Hurry and get that book published, would you? That way I can have daily reminders from you of how to live my life. I don't know how much longer I can wait.
Love you,

Dad,
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. I love what Mom wrote. She put into words what I can not. You are such a fine example of a father, husband, and grandfather. Thank you for your patience, love, service, time, ideas, guidance, and most of all for your example.
Happy Birthday.
