Last year, I posted a list of 50 things about Mom in honor of her 50th Birthday. Well, in May, Dad took his turn at the big 5-0. Due to my lack of keeping up with things, I failed to post his list. Father's Day this last weekend reminded me that I'd fallen down on the job. And so, better late than never, here it is...
We have this Dad and Pa who’s strong
He picks us up when things go wrong
He cheers us on in every way
