Today’s post is dedicated to my wonderful daddy on his birthday.
My dad is the funniest guy I know.
He never meets a stranger.
He loves the Lord and still spends time drawing nearer and nearer to God each day, wanting to learn more.
He is a great mix of silly and serious.
He is my son’s namesake.
He loves his family, and especially loves his grandsons.
He still loves his work.
He makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome.
He adores and cherishes my mom.
He carved Ernie and Bert pumpkins for my brother and me when we were kids, and maybe he’ll even do that for Hudson and Hayes someday.
He loves making the most of each day. He’s an early riser and likes to get out and see and do.
He also enjoys a good nap.
My mom, brother, Todd, Hudson, Hayes, and I are all so lucky to have my dad in our lives. We’re so thankful for him.
Happy birthday, Poppie! We love you!
