It Has Been a Beautiful 70 Years

These past 70 years have been graced with a fine young gentleman who just happens to be my DAD!

Happy Birthday to the Best Dad Ever… you might say oh everyone says that. Well I happen to have a dad that is very deserving of the “Best Dad” title.

My dad at the age of 70 as of today 10/26/2010 is still giving his all by working full-time at a very wonderful company Samaritans Purse. He keeps saying he will retire, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. He can put a smile on anyone’s face at the blink of an eye. He will joke with you, he will tell you a story to make you smile, he will show you a goofy face, he will give you the shirt off his back! He is always putting others before himself. He tries to see the “good” in everybody and always wants to give them the benefit of doubt. That is my Daddy Bill!

I love him so much. When he hurts, I hurt. When he smiles, I smile. When he cries, I cry. I am Daddy’s little girl after all. He is a very Godly man and has raised me up in Church all my life. He is always telling me to put it in the Lord’s hands. He will take care of us no matter what. Guess what? After almost 30 years, I know he is so right now.

Daddy

I love you…
I will always be your little girl…

Daddy

You are my hero just like Grandma is…
You lift me up and believe in me so much…

Daddy

You spoil me…
You are one of my biggest fans…

Daddy

I miss your gravy and biscuits on Sunday mornings before church…
I miss your hugs before I would go off to school…

Daddy

I am proud of you..
You light up the room you are in…

Daddy

Keep on Keep on…
You have this life figured all out and living it so good…

Daddy

Here is to 70 more years…
I love you!

We had Dad a surprise birthday party this past weekend. He didn’t realize that I was coming into town so we rode up on Friday evening before he was to get off work. We were all sitting on the couch when I heard Dad pull into the driveway. We all sat there with the biggest smiles and awaiting to yell out SURPRISE! Dad opened up the front door and there we were. He had a deer in headlights look and got the biggest smile. I finally surprised my daddy. It was a priceless memory. We had such a fun Birthday Weekend!
