Today is my Daddy's 90th birthday and he's celebrating with Jesus! And, how appropriate that his 90th birthday would fall on Friday the 13th since he was also born on a Friday. I was totally a Daddy's girl and although he's been gone for going on twenty-four years, I still miss him so very much. I told our oldest grandboys just yesterday that he would have adored them and they would have loved him so much. He loved to hunt and fish and was totally an outdoorsman until he got sick with COPD and was hooked up to oxygen for the last 5 years of his life. I have the blessed assurance that I'll get to see him again someday and he'll be the first one I want to hug when I get to heaven.....
well, after Jesus, of course!

I appreciate Y'all so much.
Happy Weekend!
