Birthday wishes for Daddy


We first met when we were ten years old, two bright-eyed fifth graders, each anticipating a life full of endless possibilities and opportunities. Not one of the people present at that meeting would have believed that these two little children from the country, the principals’ kids, were establishing a relationship and embarking on lives destined to be intertwined forever.

Surprisingly to many, we stand here together some thirty years later after experiencing lives lived to the extreme. The hills and valleys we’ve independently faced have made us the couple we are today, a team strong and secure.

As we celebrate your birthday today, know how much you are appreciated and cherished by us all. We are so proud of your hard work and endless accomplishments. You successfully support a family of (almost!) eight and provide us all with a type of lifestyle for which we are extremely grateful.

I wish you a day filled with hugs and kisses and thank-you’s, a day of back scratches and foot rubs, a day of tummy tickles and wrestling matches.

Happy birthday Jimmy. I love you very much.
