july 31st is a special day for our family. it is my father-in-law's birthday. i know that in some families a "father-in-law birthday" might be considered an obligation, but i have the best father-in-law in the world, so i am glad to have a day to celebrate him. danny, has been a special part of my life for 11 years . it is such a blessing that he has been present at the most significant events in my life. he one of the few that witnessed my baptism on an icy january evening. he was there when i went to college and when i graduated (yes, he sat through 2 college graduations- mark's and mine!). he was the best man in our wedding. he wouldn't miss being one of the first to hug me after giving birth to his grandchildren. but he is also there for all the little things birthdays, drop by visits to hold jack and see olivia, hugs on sunday morning at church, weekends at the lake, regular emails to check on us, and so on. the list could go on forever. he is super supportive in EVERYTHING we do and we always feel loved by him! thank you danny for being the greatest father-in-law! thank you for raising a godly son who i call my husband. thank you for teaching me to LOVE baylor and be a true fan! sic em bears!! thank you for being a great example of what it means to be be called "daddy." thank you for your hugs, words of encouragement & support, smiles, and unconditional love.
i told you he was great! so today is a perfect chance to tell everyone (well at least the 4 people who read this) how blessed i am to have danny in my life.
love you danny! ~stephanie
