Some days are simply about people. And today was about my dad, because it is his birthday. And we celebrated him and loved on him extra today. Something he deserves everyday, but a birthday makes you stop and really take time to make him feel extra special.
And now as I sit here reflecting on his birthday, I find myself thinking about the man who joined this earth 66 years ago. And I start to think of who he is…
David John Hunt. Youngest brother of 11 children. 7/11 – seventh boy out of eleven. A son. A brother. A husband. A dad. A great father in law. A Grumpa but later named a Pappi. A friend. One of the hardest workers I have ever met. A dedicated family man, always making sure he is available. An avid golfer. CMU baseball fan. Loyal Delta Panther Football fan. A garage organizer and reorganizer. A gatherer of random materials he can make into something (the materials just sit in the shed.) A saver of memories. A advice giver. A story teller or perhaps story exaggerater. This list could go on and on. Perhaps I will just say, he is one of the best!
I am thankful my dad is my dad! He does so much to make everyone’s life better, and I am grateful for him and our relationship. For 33 years he has brought me so much Joy! Happy Birthday Dad! I am so lucky to have you!!! All my love to you today and always!
