The day has arrived!

The other day, I came across this quote:

"When you lose money you have lost nothing.
When you lose health you have lost something.
When you lose character you have lost everything."

Dad, the good news is that you still have your money, your health, and your character. Happy 80th birthday! I love you.

Thank you for being the lighthouse in our family--the one who has shone brightly and the one who has always stood tall. I learned so many things from you: how to bait my own fish hook, how to stand up for myself, how to be a person with character.

Laughter is the best medicine, and you are someone who knows how to laugh. It has kept you young at heart.

I hope you enjoy this blog...I think we did a great job pulling it together as a surprise for you today.

This is your special day...enjoy every minute to the fullest. Best wishes from all of us in Ottawa. We'll celebrate by buying a Dairy Queen cake and eating it for dessert today, with you in mind!
