happy father's day...

so....here's to you, dad. you taught me so much about how to really,  REALLY
live my life...how to be smart, how to be brave, how to be human, how to have faults, how
to overcome them, how to fall down and how to get back up no matter what.

you have created a legacy that will go on and on...

6 children, 13 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren and i am sure there will be more to come... all who love you very, very much.

                              

                     .....just like you always tell me....and now i am saying it right back to you....

"i am so proud of you!"

                                                  ...and i am so, so,  so thankful for you!

               happy father's day dad and happy father's day to my children's own fantastic dad!

....      and to all the guys i know who are such great dad's, have a wonderful day!  xxoo
