Never doubt the power of a believing father.
My dad was the first person to ‘get’ Paul’s inherent dignity and humanity as one of God’s intended creations. He has never wavered in his affections for my boy.
And next week he turns 80! Lord willing, we ‘surprised’ him yesterday with a family party. And though I’m writing this on Friday, I already know what he said as soon as he saw any of us: “where’s Grampa’s buddy! There’s my Pauley-boy!”


What a precious tribute to your dad. He has a very kind hearted face. It’s so nice to have people in our lives that encourage us and carry us through during the hard times. What a sweet thing it is to have your dad still around and in your life. Thanks for sharing a bit of it with me too…God bless.
