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
