My father celebrated his 77th birthday on Friday 30th April, 2010. I am constantly amazed at how much care and love people that don't really know my father have shown him and this is even more apparent to me through the report I got from my sister regarding his birthday. He enjoyed the attention thoroughly.
Here is a man well-loved by his friends and family. At the end of the day it is not so much what you have amassed or what you have achieved but what your relationship has been with those around you and your wife and children in particular.
My father is not a paragon certainly but he is a good man, patient, calm, a loyal and steady friend, I like to think a wise man, reflective, a deep thinker, a good listener, a simple demeanor and quiet disposition. He loves to make jokes, but he's not really very good at them and he usually ends up laughing at his own joke. But he has a very sharp wit and a wicked tongue when you least expect it.
Bravo!!! Bravo dad for being here and still standing in spite of everything life has thrown at you.
