"Great Fathers Get Promoted to Grandfathers!"

Dear Dad,

What a blessing to celebrate this very special day with you. Even if it is from a distance! Thank you for the way you love us all so big!!! You have always been one of those special Dad's. Always putting us first, and making us feel special! You have a gift for that! And, to watch it transfer over to the way you love your granddaughters makes me smile. I will never forget the priceless look on your face when we told you we were going to adopt a little girl from China. You never hesitated.. You got up from your chair and practically jumped over the table to hug me. You accepted our girls in your heart long before you ever knew them. They are blessed to have such a special "Ye'Ye'!" So, loving and so proud of your children and your precious grandchildren! I love all the little notes that you send me. I keep each one in a special file so one day I can look back and remember the way you have always encouraged and loved me.. We have traveled a lot of miles together! Soon you will be moving 15 minutes away from me again. I can't wait to just sit with you.. To have those chats that are so special and meaningful when you are right next to me! Ainsley is counting down the days! We have almost had 48 years together.. Thanks for blessing me since the day they told you my tongue was tied!!!

I found this quote.. I think they wrote it for you!!!

Happy Birthday to one very special Dad and Grandpa!
