This week marks the birthday of a special man in my life....to be precise he is like the man of my life for the past 25 years.
Dad-
While I waited on God to bring me the right man, I always knew in my heart that he would resemble you. I have seen you in every possible light, I have known the depths of you heart, and I have seen you withstand more than most men are able. When I look at John, he so often reminds me of who you are. He warms the car up for me the way you did for mom. He carries in the groceries and my luggage and bags without me ever having to ask-just as you always did for mom. He opens my car door and constantly tells me how beautiful I am, just as you do for mom. He is a man of God, which I know you to be for my entire life. He is slow to make excuses and quick to apologize, as you do.
I never thought, never, that I would find a man even close to what you are. I guess the old saying is right, "a girl will marry a man like her father." I am honored to marry a man like you (even similar sense of humor which I would say is....rare).
You are always in my heart, always on my mind. I pray for you, I love you, and I'm proud of you. God has such a great purpose for our family and I'm blessed to be a part of that.
Happy Birthday Dad!
