I’ve known this guy my whole life. His smile has graced my life for many, many years. His laughter and mercy and faith and joy have forever molded me into the man I am today.

Happy Birthday dad!

“Listen with respect to the father who raised you, and when your mother grows old, don’t neglect her. Buy truth—don’t sell it for love or money; buy wisdom, buy education, buy insight. Parents rejoice when their children turn out well; wise children become proud parents. So make your father happy! Make your mother proud!” (Proverbs 23:22 MSG)
