Today you gave me another reason to be thankful. I accidently stumbled across your blog but, once captured by your straightforward sincerity and joy, I forever became a loyal reader.
Thank you for your gentnleness, and especially your simple, direct approach to your life.
I was born on my father's birthday - so I know, first-hand, how special this will be to Jett in the years to come.
I pray that your father lives to at least 100, so that Jett might know him well into young adulthood.
Thank you for creating a blog, you tall blode , you.
