It's a great day!

Not only is it Veterans day, the day we set aside to honor all the men and women who fought to protect this great country, it is my dear old Dads birthday!Here is Dad, Baby Girl (who is not happy about getting her picture taken) and I-Cuz.


Here is Dad with his first great grandson, Hanala.
JOB DESCRIPTION
If you have a monster hide under your bed
With eyes that are green and a tail that is red
Your Dad will tease it and call it "Fred"
His job is taming monsters.
If you have a kite that is caught in a tree
or your foots in a trap and you can't get it free
Call for your Dad--he'll come quick as can be
His job is freeing captives.
If you strike out and lose the game
If nobody ever remembers your name
Go to your Dad--he will love you the same
His job is healing heartaches.
If you took a wrong turn, didn't do what you should
If you made a mistake and chose bad over good
You Dad will teach you what's right--you knew that he could
His job is guiding footsteps.
If ever you're lonely or lost in the night
And your heart feels sad and your chest feels tight
Your Dad will hug you and make it all right
His job is loving children.
(The job description is varied, there are qualifications to it.
The occupation's called "Fatherhood," and only Dads can do it)

Happy Birthday Dad! You're the best!
