ON THE FRITTS: Happy Birthday Jimbo!

Today is my dad's birthday. I am about to leave for the airport for OK for the weekend so obviously I can't be there with him. I'm not even sure if he will read this or not, but I will at least make an attempt to celebrate him with cyberspace and the few of you who read this blog. So here goes:

J--Jimbo--this guy is in love with his grandbaby! He sneaks in quality time for he and Maddy to watch John Wayne, play in the dirt, pet the dog, and just be together. I can't wait for all that he will teach Maddy

I--Intelligent--my dad is so smart. He is constantly teaching me about...well, pretty much about anything. Dad was the guy who asked for extra homework for me because he knew I needed the challenge. He also taught me how to drive and how to look people in the eye and start up a conversation with a stranger.

M--Married my mom...again, isn't he smart? But seriously, my dad is an AMAZING father, husband, son, grandson and is devoted to every person he knows. He loves my mom passionately, but also loves everyone around him.

M--Minister till the end--Dad was a full-time minister for 7 years before he became the stock broker/rancher he is today. Even still, he has devoted his life to spreading the word of Christ in any opportunity --his office, prison cells, his living room, or his Sunday school class! Dad continues to live his life as an amazing minister to everyone he meets!

Y--young at heart--no matter how old you are Daddy, you will always be the big goofy guy in a green dinosaur costume ready to go for another round of horsie bights and a ride through the pasture in "Thunder".

So even though we'll be miles away this year on your birthday (and Father's Day too!), I just want you to know how amazing you are and how much I love you. Thank you for being a father to me, Andy, Logan, and Mary...a husband to Mom, and a grandfather to Maddy. We love you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much Dad!
