Words That Change Your Outlook
February 16, 1996
Dearest Bloopty,
A poet once said, "Blessed is the man whose first born is a daughter." I read that before you were born and since then have understood what the blessing means.
You are the best daughter and friend a father could ever have. You've made me laugh and cry, sing and dance and you have made me want to excel so that you would be proud of me.
And so it has always been an added blessing to me that you have grown beautiful and strong and intelligent. I have been proud to be proud of you.
I have tried to put the best parts of my heart and soul into you so that on special days like this one we could both look back and be glad.
Happy birthday, my lovely daughter. I pray God's continued blessings, mercy and grace upon you and your household.
You have my love always
Dad

I was going thru some old pictures and cards while cleaning and shredding my little corner "office area", I ran across this and ...cried.
It has nothing to do with how I look, what people think of me or where I come from... I am confident in myself because... not to be... would be an insult to my dad.
I love my daddy more than words could possibly convey.
The more I have been thinking...the more that I need to move back to California. My boys and my father need me... and I need them.
