My dad is celebrating his “29th” birthday again.  My dad grew up in the great depression and is no stranger to hard times and struggles.  He lost his dad, at a young age, to pneumonia because they didn’t have penicillin yet.  He’s seen vast developments and changes in our society in his life time, and has a lot of wisdom because of everything he’s seen and been through.  Because he lost his father early in his life, family has always been his number one concern.  How blessed I am that he is my dad.  You are a wonderful father, dad, I just wanted you to know that.  Have a wonderful birthday, with much love from your oldest daughter.
