sixty

happy 60th birthday daddie-o!!
(aka pwee)

also known as granddaddy mike to these two!

i think 60 is a big year.

if you do the math you might figure out that my mom's funeral was on my dad's 50th birthday.

can you even begin to imagine?

all that to say, our family is really looking forward to celebrating this big birthday!!

as i've said many times, i'm truly thankful for my dad and the role he's played in my life, especially most recently.
i'm so fortunate that he is only 2 hours away and has helped us out so much these past 2 months.
i couldn't have made it through without his support!

what i love about my dad is how thoughtful he is.
he's definitely way more thoughtful then most men out there and i'm so grateful that he is!
it definitely helps feel a void.
he's always checking in and wants to know how he can help us.
i know i can call him when i need some encouragement or advice.
if he doesn't know what to say, he knows where to direct me.
i called him when i found out casey was going to dubai and was telling him how anxious i was.
he named off 5 verses for me to go look up to help me get through.
i've always loved that he could do that.

dad, i love you so much and am so happy to see you so happy!!
we can't wait to be with you this weekend ...
if the snow doesn't stop you from getting back home!
i hope you know how loved you are!
