Papa has been working in our town the last month or so! We love having him down here and once a week we will meet him over where he is working and have lunch! It has been such a treat and we are grateful for the time that we get to spend with him!!

My Dad is such a wonderful man and such an example to me! His life has not been the easiest and he has been through many struggles but he is so wonderful! He taught me how to drive, threw the softball with me for hours, taught me to find joy in physical labor, and taught me to be real and honest (even when that honesty hurt sometimes!)! Dad is who he is and he never has tried to be something he is not, and I love that about him. You always know where you stand with Dad=)

I love you Dad! Thanks for being a great Dad, Papa, and friend! We are so blessed to spend this time with you! Thanks for listening, caring and taking an active interest in our lives.
