Won't be home for your birthday.

Dear Dad,

Tomorrow is your birthday.
and...I won't be home to congratulate you. Sorry.

I am so far from home.
Sitting in front of my laptop, listening to songs.
Songs that remind me of how blessed we are as a family.
Yes, a family.
You, mom, bros' and me.
Those sunny and rainy days.
I have you all, thankfully.

Looking back the years that had gone by.
I see God's grace.
How He brings us to today.
Can't help having a big smile on my face :)

Dad,
I have you in my prayers.
Asking God to keep you safe in His mighty hands.
That for years to come we are all still together.
That He may grant you health and happiness.

Thank you!
For...
Being my dad.

I am a strong-headed daughter.
Who has an opinion of my own.
Blessed to have you as a father.
Who teaches me how to go through this world's ups and downs.

I am and will be fine.
From you I have learned.
Not to worry about what to come.
For our God know what we need.

Happy Birthday Dad!
