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!
