something special happens as you get older. and that is the opportunity to get to know your parents better. what a gift it is to get to know your parents…not just as ‘mom’ or ‘dad’, but as a whole person. to learn their stories. to see their journeys and how it has shaped them.
for the past several years, probably as a result of my own journey in self-discovery, i have enjoyed this very thing. and today, as we celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday, i wanted to share some of my favorite stories about him.
- before they were my parents
- How They Became My Parents
- my father’s {A}rt
- thank you for the music
- 10 things i would like to tell you about my dad
- leaning into the curve: a lesson learned from my dad
i am so grateful to have learned so much about my dad – who he is and what has shaped him as a person. because in the process, i learned so much about myself.
thank you, daddy, for everything. i love you so much!
Wonderful tribute. I hope all that read your blog will take time to really visit with their parents. Unfortunately, both my parents are gone & there are so many questions I would love to ask them. Parents have a wonder history to share.
Happy birthday to your darling father. These pictures have me in a puddle of tears. So, so, so beautiful.
Love your dad! Happy happy birthday!!!!
Happy Birthday, Kelly’s daddy! I had to laugh at the little holsters and guns. My cousin and I played Roy Rogers and Dale Evans for hours!!!
