I was impressed by the fact that you often went to your mom and dad with problems - you'd say, "I asked my dad about this," or, "I talked to my mom about that," and I know that as a parent, I want to also be that available to my kids and I hope they will feel as comfortable coming to me as you were to your parents. I learned a lot about what a healthy family looks like by spending time with yours, and I have thought of that often over the years. What a lovely tribute to your dad, and I hope he had a great birthday.MMA Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05632305582129330551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22019770.post-1149021527763154062006-05-30T15:38:00.000-05:002006-05-30T15:38:00.000-05:00We do have an amazing father!

You are worth it ... and so is your mother too ... and your siblings ... and all the spouses ... and all the children ... usw!!!<BR/><BR/>Yesterday at 2:00 PM, my time, I got a phone call. It was from Caroline - and her 23 6th-grade students. They sang Happy Birthday to me! What fun! I also had a group call from Christie Sue - She and a group of friends sang to me. I received other calls and cards which came without choral accompanyment - they were fun too!<BR/><BR/>I even received an e-mail from my boss's boss wishing me happy birthday. <BR/><BR/>I love you all! You are all worth it!<BR/>Daddy-AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
