Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday to You;
You Live In a zoo;
You Look Like a Fish...
And you Smell Like One too!

Just kidding of course, but that's all I could come up with for your birthday song, LOL!

On a more serious note.....

February 14th, 1938, a little baby was born in Prosper Texas. While most people were celebrating Valentine's Day, his poor mama was pushing and pushing till he finally popped out, and she said "Oh no, not ANOTHER mouth to feed!". He grew into a hell-raising teen, and then into a hard working man.

While he has had many brushes with death (caught his arm in an old wringer washing machine, nearly choked to death trying to eat all his beans before his brothers could steal them, his girlfriend tried to ram him through the windshield of his car when she hit a tree with his car, been hit in the head with high heel shoes, picture frames, and no telling what else, had so many heart surgeries I lost count, had 2 staph infections, glued two fingers together with superglue just because he wanted to see what would happen if he held his fingers together), 68 years later he's "Still Going" like the Energizer Bunny. And I'm so happy he's still here with us to see his Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren...

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you very much!
