The girls were super excited to make Pa a birthday card with glitter. Carli wrote her msg all by herself (she copied what I wrote for her) and then she put the glue and glitter on. This resulted in her msg being a bit difficult to read, but she read it for Pa just fine: "I Love You Pa!" followed by a heart and her name. She drew pictures of Pa with Logan, Ava and herself. Ava just picked the colors of her glitter and added a few creative drawings with a marker, she was a little too busy twirling to take time to mess with all that letter writing!
The rest of us went in and got Pa a keypad lock for the lakehouse. We have had one on our house as part of a product test that Keith signed up for at work. Pa really liked it so we got one for him to use. It will come in handy for those times when we end up at the lakehouse unplanned and with no key!
He taught me to smile through the pain and
hugged me when there were no words to find comfort in. He lived his
faith, he didn't just talk about it on Sunday. He talked me through
some of the biggest decisions of my life. He celebrated and
beamed with pride when I met my goals. He gave me the most tender hug
and kiss on my wedding day when he gave me away, I will cherish that
feeling for always. He loves me more than words can say, and he loves
my kids even more. He treats my Mom like the Queen that she is and he
loves my Grandma with the devotion and care you can't describe. He has
worked hard all his life, and he has done it to provide for his family,
not to find wealth. He is my Dad. He is awesome. And I am one blessed
girl. Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!
