Dad - I hope you know how much I love you and how thankful I am for you!
Thank you so very much for being such a great example of a husband. You showed your children how a man can be both strong and sensitive. You have always been the rock the family can count on! Even when times were tough and you didn't know what might happen next, you stayed strong and helped the rest of the family know that everything would work out.
That said, you also have such a wonderful, sensitive side. These years have been filled with many emotional ups (the marriage of your three kids, the birth of your five (soon to be six) grandkids) & downs (the loss of loved ones). You have shown that strength doesn't mean the lack of emotions. It's actually the exact opposite.
And, you have passed those traits onto you kids. As you read in Paul's message, he also exhibits strength and sensitivity. You are also an amazing example of putting your children first. Being there for their celebrations (sporting events, school dances, other honors) and when then needed a shoulder to cry on (losing the game, dealing with a broken heart). He is a wonderul husband and father - and that comes from the example you set for him.
I also thank you for welcoming me into the family with open arms. I truly feel like you look at me as a daughter instead of a daughter-in-law.
