Gratitude Photography Project 2014
Read MoreToday there is tremendous gratitude for a very special man in our family, my husband’s father, and someone I call Dad. I have had the honor to know and love this man for 43 years. He is a man with tremendous faith in Christ, and a man who walks the walk of faith everyday. He is a dedicated loving husband of 62 years, father to a wonderful son and daughter, grandfather to three loving grandchildren and one beautiful great granddaughter. He had a long career serving his country in the army with tours of duty in Korea and Vietnam. After retiring from the service he had a very successful career in sales at Sears. He is a giver.
He is a man of quiet strength. He tried for years to quit smoking and when he found out my husband and I were expecting a baby, he successfully quit smoking the day he found out. He always had room on his lap to read a story to a grandchild, help his loving wife with anything around the home or give help as needed to his children. He is quite the cribbage player and a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan. He excels in telling a joke and can be found most week day mornings at the gym with a joke to share and on Sundays at Western Hills Christian Church. He is a winner!
I am very grateful to honor this loving man today on his birthday.
