Today
is my dad’s 81st birthday.
Wow. That’s pretty amazing when
you think about how much the world has changed over the course of his
life. Last year we were busy working on
a big party for him. We made a video
invitation to his “Red Solo Cup” party. The party brought people from all around the
country because, really, people wanted to celebrate his life WITH him instead
of in honor of him. Pretty amazing.
Dear God, I’m thankful that I have the
opportunity to spend so much time with my dad and that, generally, our
relationship is healthy. He has been
inspirational to me in many ways, and has had much to do with me being the
strong woman I have become. Thank you
for keeping him healthy and able to do the many things he enjoys. Bless him this day and each one that comes
for him, for us who share this world with him.
Amen.
