Happy Birthday Dad. I've been thinking for the last couple of weeks that my Dad's birthday was coming up. Today was his day. I'd actually forgotten, until Andy reminded me when I was talking to him earlier this evening. Thanks for remembering Andy Roo. Bob and I calculated and he'd be 87 if he were still alive today. I can't believe that. THAT, makes me feel old. My dad was a great dad. A really great Grandpa, too. He'd be so proud of how all of his Grandkids have turned out! I loved him so much. He was someone in my life who loved me no matter what. He adored me and I knew it. I miss that. When I see him again the thing I look forward to the most is feeling his arms around me. It'll be great! Miss you Dad.

That's so great! And boy does Grandpa and Aaron look so much a like!

I love the memories I have of him too! I specifically remember how he could magically change a red light to green. Magical!

Thanks for making me cry at work. He sure was handsome!

I really miss my grandpa too. I second the mention of devon and the magic of changing the traffic light. But the great memoty is and is still used to day.

Don't forget about "Do-it-yourself-umbrellas!"

Linsey and I had a moment too on the 2nd talking about Grandpa. Fun post mom!
