I found the following poem online and wanted to share it... I wish it was written by me, but I feel the same way! I love you Dad... thanks for being you and living your life for the Lord!
Life Lessons, By Joanna Fuchs
You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.
Happy Birthday, Grandpa Ron! Hard to imagine how many years have gone by since you were in grades 6 and 7. Please pass along my birthday greetings to Rick as well! He may faint at this surprise!
