50th Suprise !!!

So you decided to throw me a surprise party. Was I surprised? You bet! I was surprised by the fact my good friends and family found me worthy enough to go through all the pain of planning and pulling off the event. But I am more than surprised.

I am grateful.

Grateful for the fact that you all decided to take time out of your lives to help celebrate the fact that I have managed to stay alive for 50 years.

I am amazed.

Amazed that God would choose one man and bless him with such loyal and caring friends. The type of friends that will look past your short falls and lift you up on every opportunity. Amazed God blessed this man with the perfect parents to love and care for him, the best brother and sister a man could imagine. Blessed with great in-laws who would always be there for him. The best grand parents, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews, cousins, god-daughter and god-son whom he could share his life with.

I am in awe.

Awe that God would bless this man with the most beautiful and loving wife, bless him with the perfect son and daughter to give him purpose and be the well from where his pride springs. Blessed with the perfect son and daughter in-law to love and complete his children. And to be truly blessed with two grandsons to steal his heart and throw out his back..

I am humbled by the fact that I get to be "that man."

So you may have come to celebrate with me because you think I have touched your life in some small way but let me assure you it is I who had the honor to celebrate with you as I know you all have touched mine.

So from a grateful and humble heart..... Thank you!!!

peace and thank for listening......
