The Perfect Card!

I love to stand at the card counters and read all the cards! Some are very clever and some are just plain dumb! Because more than likely this will be my dad's last birthday I wanted to make sure I found a card that said everything I wanted, but didn't know how to put into words. And as an added bonus...it was the first card I picked! How often does that happen? I want to write out what it says inside mainly for me because I don't ever want to forget it....

There's a special place in my heart that only belongs to Dad.
It's filled with fond memories of times we've spent together...
the pride I feel whenever I talk about him...
the joy that comes from the relationship we share.
There's a place in my heart especially for Dad...
a place where he's thought of with a special kind of love.

I can't imagine anything more beautiful than my
childhood memories of you...
anything more meaningful than knowing
how much you care....
anything more wonderful than having you for my dad.

Happy Birthday!

I cried in the aisles when I read this. I was so thankful to find it last night. My family gets to go see my dad tonight and wish him happy birthday. I don't know if it is the weather or the stress taking its toll on me, but I am unable to walk at all today even with my crutches. I am so sad that I can't see dad tonight. But I am hoping that with a day of rest and prayer that I will be able to walk tomorrow and visit with dad!

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!
