Celebrating 95 years of a life well lived

Towards the end of April we had the privilege of celebrating my Dad’s 95th birthday with the family.

I owe much of who I am today to him.  Dad is a man of faith who loves God and his family.  He has served his country and has worked hard providing for his family.  He’s traveled to many parts of the United States and many places abroad and has many stories to tell.  In his younger days he enjoyed racing across the open waters in a sailboat and later took my friends and me on many water skiing trips in the days of my youth.  He loves his plants and gardening and has always had the nicest yard in the neighborhood.  He has stood by the Cleveland Browns through thick and thin. He is always ready with a big smile and an encouraging word. He has a goal to outlive his Mom who lived to be 101 and to this day he is as active as his 95 years will allow and is healthy for which I am grateful.

I could go on and on but suffice it to say that I am proud and honored to call him Dad.

Happy Birthday to the greatest Dad a girl could ever ask for!!!
