This is what my dad looked like when I first met him and this is how he looked when he married my mum. I was 6 years old when he came in to our lives and became my hero. I knew he would never leave us and he would always love me...I knew this from day one. I remember feeling like I could be really small and cuddly again because he was there. I could relax and know everything was going to be alright, that I would be taken care of. I smiled alot more. I got to see my first glimpses of how much God loves me, how He rescues me, how He is my hero, through the ways of this gentle Marine.
These days I miss my dad. I miss making fun of mum with you (not something we do too often, mum, wink wink). I miss working with you, having coffee with you and rolling my eyeballs at your stupid jokes.
I am glad you were born so that this little girl could finally meet her daddy.
Happy birthday
I love you
Funny, I knew the first time that I saw the two of you together that we would all be together, forever -- with an added bonus, Misha.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, John. And thanks for being a wonderful Christian dad to Krista and Misha. Especially Krista, since she's married to Dan!
ReplyDeleteThank You for being open to my LOVE. You are my wonderful child whom I will LOVE forever. You have brought me joy beyond imagination. There was more received than than you know. I think because of Anne and yourself and Misha I could truely learn to Love and become a man God could be proud of.
