Life is Good
If the first face you see when you wake up is someone you love who loves you back
If you can find a reason to laugh every day and you are not afraid to cry
If you can learn something new, If you can solve the puzzle without buying a vowel
If you can still provide “supervision”
If there are still movies to see and birds to watch
If you have ever had a book dedicated to you
If there are blueberries in your pancakes
If food is still a joy, especially when people bring fish and make spaghetti
If you still have good dreams
If there is ice cream every day
If technology lets you talk face-to-face with people you love no matter how far away they are
If your children have grown up to adore and admire you and have had beautiful children of their own who love you and call you Papa --and are taller than their parents.
If you have pets to spoil, If you can remember all your past adventures and the names of the people you cared the most about You are living a very, very good life.
Happy Birthday, DAD!!! Much love, your adoring daughter
