A Post From Odie
January is a month full of birthdays for our family and friends. Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating in January. We love you!!!
January 16th was a special birthday. I want to say Happy Birthday to the best Dad around. I love you "more than a hog loves slop"!!! Dad says that is a LOT of love.
In July and October Dad often writes big birthday post for Mom and me. His post always leaves me in tears. I am not as good at expressing my feelings in coherent words.
Dad,
I want to say thank you for all you do for us!!! You go above and beyond for our family. You do so much behind the scenes to keep us going. A lot of times I do not express enough gratitude for all your labors.
Thanks for teaching me about God. I appreciate your constant reminder that holiness is right. Your burden for others is something I pray that I have acquired. I love to see you get covered up with the Holy Ghost!!! Thank you for following God's direction for your life. Thanks for teaching me to trust God in every way. I will forever appreciate your Godly example!!!
Thank you also for sharing your love of food with me. I am so glad you taught me that eating good food is an event to celebrate. I think I may have learned that lesson a little too much!!!!
Once again from the bottom of my heart I love and appreciate you, Daddy. I am so glad you showed me life can always be an exciting adventure.
Forever Daddy's little girl,
Odie
