To Dad

From the kilts of Scotland to the shores of Hawaii, from the Midwest of America to the heart of Europe.  My dad has been with me the whole way, step by step, he has moved across two continents and two oceans with what is now a family of seven.  You're an amazing father.  You've coached me in basketball, you've taught me to follow Christ with all my heart, and you've corrected me when I've stumbled.   I know how a man should act, how a man should treat his wife, and how a man should love his children because I have a living example in front of me every day. Thank you Dad!  For everything.

Bagpipes.  The manly instrument. 

Not to mention that you're a pretty darn good photography.

One of us is in the wrong chair.

Yup.  Scotland is the place to be.

This is basically what you do, you guide us by the hand, until we start to gain responsibility, then you let us have more free-rein.  But you are always on the spot if something happens.

Over 20 years ago.

You and mom haven't changed.

Except that you have five children and live in Germany.

"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth." Psalm 127:4

You're readying five arrows for the battle, and I know that we will be ready, because we have you for a father and mom for a mother.  Thank you for everything, Dad!  I love you.
