[50 it is]

We surprised my dad last night. He turned 50! Wow. He's a oldie. ;] Love you dad, you will always be my daddy. The one I wanted to marry when I was a little girl. The one who got me anything, and everything I wanted. The one who brought me to Spring Training in Florida, so I could see my obsession, at that time, Brady Anderson & the Baltimore Orioles. The one who took me to a million-and-one O's games. The one that would scream "O" during the "Star Spangled Banner"with me. The one who took Michael and I to seven-eleven after school to pick whatever candy, and slurpee we wanted. The one who was our Santa Clause, to find out later he wasn't...way to go to hide the letters in the "sock drawer". ;] The one who bought me my puppy, champ.  The one that was the "softie"...mom was the "hardie". :] The one who was the coolest dad. The one who we all loved to be around. I have always been proud of my daddy...way back when he would hit homerun's during his softball league days up to now my pastor, my friend, my handsome daddy!! Love you so much!! Hugs.
