My Dad

Dad,

I just wanted to say thanks for everything you are and for all that you do! You are a great man and a wonderful father! I was talking to my students about why we celebrate Father's day and was telling them that we need to show our appreciation for our dads because they love us and take care of us. Even though I'm grown and away from home, I can still feel your love and care every day.

I love you!

Brit

PaD said...: I enjoyed looking over your blog. Gpa and I are recovering from that awful flu that's lasted over a week. Your birthday party sounded spectacular. I'm 72 and that's the best BD party I've heard of. Love ya, Gma D; June 30, 2011 at 5:48 PM
