Happy Birthday DaddyO

|

 

daddyO.jpgToday is my dad's birthday. My dad is great, I really like him.

I know that everyone has to say this, at least on a genetic level, but I wouldn't be the person that I am and have the life that I do without him. In more ways than he or I even know, he has been the most influential person in my life. Not growing up with him around everyday, or even every month made me cherish the time that I had with him even more.

He is honest and expects the absolute truth from everyone. He has forced me to learn how to communicate well, no matter how stubborn I am or painful the situation may be. He loves Jesus and has passed that love onto his children, even though it took some of us longer than others to replicate. ;) He LOVES his kids and his grandkids and they love, love, LOVE DaddyO. Even though he made mistakes... he has taught me through his relationship with Taryn, what a great Christ-centered marriage looks like. And he is hilarious! What more could a girl want from a dad? Maybe a giant trust fund, that would be good. Maybe you could work on that, dad.
