Happy birthday Dad!

Today September 13Th marks a day of celebration, today is my dads birthday, another year older, and another birthday to be thankful for.
Last year we held dads birthday at the hospital where mom was, that is how we do things ......TOGETHER! and it will always be like that.......I hope.
This year we may not be right there with him, but I am sure he is happy too, that he made it though the whole ordeal over the past year.
I wanted to write dad a little note, so here we go.

Dear Dad,
As I sit here and write out this little note to you, all that runs though my mind is how lucky we are to get to have another year with you.......and hopefully many, many more to come.
I want to tell you how proud I am of you, for coming as far as you have.
The last letter I wrote to you was of me crying out to you to fight and beat the cancer, I was so scared that not only would we be loosing mom but you too as well.
As hard as it was for you to do, you fought though the cancer and survived just like mom asked you to.
We all wish mom was still here, and for the last year to just not have happened at all, but we can't change that, but we can celebrate another birthday with you, and that is priceless in itself.
over that last 6 months we have seen you go from a guy who did not know what to do with the rest of his life, to a man who can once again smile and know we are all here for him.

Dad have I told you lately how proud I am of you.
Happy Birthday.
I love you dad, from your (wrinkles) Corinna.
