Happy Birthday Daddy

So today is the day after Christmas. Today is also my daddy's birthday. My dad is such a good wonderful loving man. He is the one (ecspecailly my sister and I) go to on advice on how to do almost everything. He is smart and I have always wondered what he would have done if he could have went on to college. No matter God had another path for him. I love my daddy very much and despite all the mistakes i make he always loves me. Thank you Daddy for all you have done for me and our family. Let me share some of Dads important people in his life....

This is my dad and mom. They have been married for 36 years now. Which is very unusual with most my friends I grew up with. They have been together I think since Mom was 15. Long time and despite a lot of hard times they have survived and love each other very much.....

This is me, dad and my sister Julie. He and mom only had 2 daughters and they spaced us 12 years apart and none in between. We really don't know what we would do without him. Because I am sure much to Henry and Bens dismay we ask advice of Daddy more than we do them.... Sorry we are daddies girls.

Thisis Grandma and Dad. Daddy is her first born. She had at least one miscarriage before dad I think that I know of. My grandparents were such a big part of my dads life. My PaWillard has been gone since '88. Long time and I miss very much and I am sure my dad does too.

This is grandma with her surviving boys. My Uncle Terry died in '93. Also not in this picture with them is my Aunt Pam. She has a terrible bone disease and she doesn't get around too well.

This is from left to right. My uncle Greg aka Crobar, Uncle Chris the baby aka Bubba, and my daddy.....

This is them misbehaving as usual and Grandma trying to get em to behave. How she grew to be such a sweet lady with all those boys.....

I don't really have a picture with both the boys and dad. But believe you me these two are my dads pride and joy. He had two daughters then got 2 grandsons. Zack the oldest is always attached to my dad and is so much like him. They both have that same sense of humor. Dylan is the more serious one and loves dad so much. These boys are the world to my parents .

So here is my dad and his Christmas self portriat. He is such a jokster and we love that. He keeps us all laughing and level at the same time. I love you daddy ... happy birthday.
