Thank you, Dad!

Today is my Dad's birthday.  He is no longer alive and for most of my life we lived many miles apart.  We would often talk on the phone on Sundays and I remember, as I got older, the beginning of our conversation would go something like this:

"How is it going, Dad?"  "It's gotta go, there is no other way!"  He said this with such enthusiasm that I would usually giggle and now remembering it makes me feel like I can deal with whatever life is going to deliver.

Happy Birthday, Dad.  I'm so grateful for all that you shared with me.
