From the desk of Dad

Hello my little snug-a-bugs, I was just sitting here with your mother, who right now is just being herself (trust me you will understand by the time you read this). I was reflecting on my life, the ups and downs, the right and lefts and sometimes the pure calm. I was reading your mothers last input and thought about the times I would get off work and go jump out of a plane at 15000 feet and felt no fear. My life has been one heck of a ride and it made me think of something. If I died in some accident I might miss telling you girls some things that helped shape my thinking for example I remember one of our presidents said

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." — Theodore Roosevelt

In a nutshell that is a good summary of my past and more than likely my future. I sure hope you girls have this spirit in your character.

Love your old man, Daddy
