Happy birthday, Daddy

Wow! I seem to be really good at doing these birthday things a day late. Yesterday was my beloved Dad's birthday. We got together with family on Saturday to have a surprise party for him. It was wonderful!

I never truly appreciated my father until I became an adult myself. Now I realize just how much he sacrificed for us and how much he truly loved us.

When I met Michael in 1996, I wouldn't date him because he reminded me so much of my father. I knew that if I dated him, I would marry him. Now, I am so grateful for all the ways he is like my dad. I know he is going to be a fantastic father, just like mine has been. I can't wait to see him continue to develop into an amazing man, just like my dad.

I love you, Daddy! Here's to many more birthdays!
