Well Pops, you're over the hill! What a ride it has been.
Dad you are the greatest father any one of us girls could have asked for.

I want to tell you thank you, thank you for:
- going on a mission when only active in church for four months, and then serving awesomely
- marrying Mom
- teaching us to love Lynyrd Skynyrd
- teaching us to love Florida State University Football
- teaching us to change a tire and check engine oil
- embracing a house hold of females and loving it
- playing hard with us and wrestling us to the ground
- holding us while we cried after a boyfriend breakup
- never complaining when we got into your tools and built odd things in the yard
- loving cats and dogs
- being the biggest kid on the block
- teaching us how to build sandcastles, play on the beach, and body surf
(the two legs belong to me)

And being a wonderful grandfather.
You helped so much this past year with Eli. Your presence helped me and Matt breath during 2 difficult hospital stays.

Happy 50th!
Can't wait to see you in Indianapolis for the Final Four!
