Thankful

Today I am thankful for my Dad. He's celebrating his 72nd birthday today. Not going to get all mushy but we all love him and don't know what we'd do without him. I still have trouble processing that my father actually participated in tea parties with his granddaughters. I don't ever recall seeing him act as a waiter at my tea parties. LOL The things you do once you become a grandfather I guess! And one of the things we love about him!
He was the glue that held things in place here on the home front when we were in the hospital with Jenna....he was actually Morgan's personal chauffeur and his motto was often "whatever it takes to keep Morgan happy". And he did a great job of it too. He didn't handle seeing his sweet Jenna in the hospital very well so he would hang at the house and keep things running smoothly here. (not to say he didn't come to the hospital at all but it just wasn't his favorite thing to do)
We're thankful for him and don't tell him nearly often enough. Happy Birthday Daddy!

Couldn't find a single photo of my dad by himself.
Here's the family shot from Easter
Loving on his Jenna at her end of treatment party
Morgan with "Pop". (he was actually going to be PawPaw and was called that for a while and then one day Morgan started calling him "Pop" and it's stuck ever since then)
Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad!
