Happy Birthday Rob




Thirty three years ago, Rob was born....He was such a beautiful baby and he came with the sweetest temperament. Happy Birthday, dear Robert!
I love Rob because
he is a peacemaker
he is brave
he is generous with his time and his means and his talents
he is loyal to those he loves
he is compassionate
he is a hard worker
he does not give up
he is full of interests
he reads and thinks and I love to hear his thoughts
he is a great and imaginative gift giver
he has always loved athletics and pursued them both as a fan and as a participant
he serves others with the same gusto that his dad does
he is an optimist
he loves to be with his family
he is a great part of any group and works to make everyone comfortable
he can cook and clean and take care of a home with the best of 'em
.....and I would add....that although this doesn't make me love him, he is handsome!

I like you because:
You are devastatingly handsome and that reflects at least partially on me :)
You are a hard worker and you are unafraid to tackle any job and you are willing and eager to learn along the way.
You are married so well!
You keep fit and it shows!
You are true blue and love to serve others.
And I am so proud to be your father.
Love,
Dad
