Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Today is my (Daniel's) dad's birthday!


dad can actually keep his eyes open in pictures...sorry mom, but it's dad's birthday...

There is so much to say about dad. He is without a doubt the hardest working man I know. I say that both as a compliment and to get you all to help me get him to stop before he kills himself! Dad taught me how to play basketball and then how to love basketball. He taught me how to yell at the tv (a family tradition passed on for generations). He taught me how to play golf and then how to love golf and then how to hate golf and then how to like golf. He taught me how to read my textbook when I had a question about math.


He also taught me those lessons that only a great dad can teach his son. He taught me how to be committed to my wife, my family, and my church. He taught me how to study and teach the Bible. There is no way I could have had a better dad growing up and today. Kirsten and I love you and miss you and can't wait to see you in June!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Ronald!!
Past due but still happy birthday anyway. I agree with all Daniel said about you all those thing are true. I'm so proud to call you my son!!, and all the things you do for other people and the church. No one but the family know this because you keep everything very quite as to what you do.
Love, Grandmother Monroe (Mother)

The laugh is on me Anonymous not Grandmother Monroe or Mother.
It flipped before I had finished my comment, O'well I'm not past making maistakes no matter how old you get.

Happy Belated Birthday Uncle Ronald! Daniel, you made me cry. You are certainly right on. Uncle Ronald is an amazing man, much like his older brother :) I guess some of those Tech fans aren't so bad after all huh? Much Love!!
