… is 66 years old today. 🙂
He’s feisty and fussy, and he likes things just so (thanks for passing that on to me, Dad). And without knowing much about you, he’d give more than his shirt to take care of you if you’re in trouble.
He wasn’t born in Texas, but he’s about as Texan as a non-native can get. He and my mom run a small ranch, and they’re the hardest working people I know – still. If my dad cusses a bit when the tractor blows a tire or the rake breaks a tine, he can be forgiven.
He was an Army officer, and he’s a patriot and my hero. Every man, I compare to him, and most fall short.
I love you, Dad. Happy birthday. 🙂
