Dad,
Every year, your birthday reminds me
how grateful I am that you are my father.
With all that’s going on in the world today,
I’m thankful I get to watch you,
to look up to you.
What a privilege it is to observe your strength,
your competence, and your kindness.
I am so blessed to have been under your wing,
your protection, your care,
being able to learn important life lessons from you.
If all fathers were like you,
the world would be a very different
and much better place.
Happy Birthday, Dad,
Love, Donna

This is from my Daughter, this is what I woke to on my page this morning, there is no doubt being a parent can be very trying, just as being a child can,
....but.....when you get this kind of Love back..... there have been no trials and tribulations that have not been well worth the effort from both Child and Parent... I don't believe there is anything in this world that can rival the feelings of Happiness that words like this can bring to some one who just didn't think he was doing a good enough job.... I Thank God I have done something right..
  I Pray that each and every parent out here, has had the chance to get the Ultimate Payback in Life.....
Many Blessings
