Ninety-Three

 Ninety-three is  not just a number...

     It's the number of years (and counting) you've been given to   make your mark on this planet.
     It's the number of years you've shared your love with the lives you've touched.
     It's a fraction of what you've done without so we could have all of what we've dreamed of.
     It's the number of times you've forgiven, forgotten but never forsaken... and then some.

Ninety-three is not just a number...

     It's the number of times you've told us something important and we didn't listen but now we   remember because it's hard for you to say it.
     It's the  number of times you said yes and the same number of times you said no because
          something was not for our own good.
     It's the number of times we wished we said "I love you" and the number of times we're saying  it now
           before it's too late.

    It's the  number of times you said "It's the principle of the thing" and the same number we now say the
           very same thing.

      
Ninety-three is the number of times you told us "When my ship comes in" when we now realize we were
     aboard all along.

Ninety-three is not just a number...

That's why we are celebrating it... in a big way.

Happy Birthday Daddy.
