A Birthday Wish
To the person who...
- understood me when no one else did
- made me pick up pine cones in the yard even when I didn't want to, which certainly builds character
- walked me down the aisle on my wedding day
- took us swimming in the creek
- let us ride down the road with the windows down AND the air conditioner blowing
- always believed in me
- provided for our family and made sure we had everything we needed and lots of things we wanted
- made me always feel safe when you were there
- was so strong that I never told other kids "My dad can beat up your dad" because it simply went without saying
- took us trick-or-treating
- kept our yard looking so nice
- yelled at me when I had done wrong, but let it go in the next moment and never hung anything over my head
- hid all the Easter eggs
- is so handsome that my high school guidance counselor pulled me aside to tell me so
- introduced me to homemade blueberry ice cream
- let us buy whatever we wanted at the grocery store when Mama went on business trips
- played with us in the sandbox and on the Slip 'n Slide and even in the kiddie pool
- always tells it like it is
- still calls Mama sweet names
- is extremely intelligent
- has an incredible work ethic
- took me on the best 3-wheeler rides ever
- is the best Daddy in the world.
Thank you.
Happy 50th Birthday, Daddy! I love you so much, and am so proud to be your daughter. Thank you for everything you have done for us, and for all the things I didn't even know you did. I hope the next 50 holds twice the happiness as the first.
