56 and counting

Happy birthday, Dad!  I hope you know how much you are loved.  I thank God for you every day.  I don't know how I got so lucky to have you as my dad, but I really do thank God for that blessing.  You have always been there for me and have always supported me.  I love that we live right down the road so that I can see you whenever I want, and I really love your unexpected visits.  Thank you for being such a wonderful grandfather - you are a hero to Ethan and Rachel.  We enjoyed having dinner with you last night to celebrate.  I hope I never forget those simple moments...you carrying Rachel on your shoulders and Ethan on your back at the same time.  I know a lot of grandfathers can do that, but I would bet that a lot of grandfathers don't do that.  I love you so much.
