Dad's Response

Well, I wasn't sure how the whole fake birthday party for my dad was going to go over, but apparently it went over great in his eyes. He tried to go in and leave a comment, but said that it rejected it both times and he doesn't know why so he asked if I would please leave his comment for everyone so here it is:
Sissy,Wow...now you went and done it. You made your old dad shed some tears! I can honestly say this was the nicest birthday present I ever received in my whole life. You tell me I have taught you to do good things for people,which is an awesome compliment. I only wish I could have done more for you and Jordan as you were growing up, but you grew up sooo fast. But as I grow older...I find more and more that the gifts you give do not have to be monetary or material. The important gifts you give and receive are those that you can pass on to make you a a better person or make someone else a better person. The creativity and time you took to put together my 'birthday party' with your precious angels...planning the video, baking and frosting the cake, singing happy birthday without me being there, and most importantly, setting the example for your children, make me very proud to be your dad and I consider that gift to be priceless. Your kids see you taking care of missionaries, spending time with the kids teaching them important life lessons, helping them to understand reality, but then showing them that no matter what, everything can be 'ok' in the world, sets the stage for their positive development to be good citizens in this crazy world and it makes your dad want to be a better father, grand father (papa), husband and community member, too. Thank you for my awesome birthday present and for the wonderful words you wrote in your blog. I am proud of you as a daughter, as a mother, and as a wife to George. Thanks for being a wonderful part of my life. I love you, Sissy, as I love your whole family! All my love, Dad

Thanks for making my eyes squirt some tears dad!!!!
