Today is Dad's birthday and I would like to acknowledge him as I thought about him throughout the day. He would have been 89 years old today. We are lucky to have our Mother still with us and in good health and I know as you do we miss Dad alot.
I'm sure he would be very proud of all of us and our accomplishments and what we have done with our lives and proud of how we have worked hard in our respective jobs and what we have in our lives as far as family and home life.
Dad was a conservative person and a Father who vied for his children and what he could inspire them to be for the today world to be successful and accomplished. Certainly, he was able to accomplish his hope for us. He said to me all the time that he wanted us to be happy and we are lucky to be happy and healthy, which I believe is intertwined.
Our parents wanted our love and family unity to continue thorough our adulthood, which we are blessed that it has. We are a strong family and we have conveyed that to our children also. I miss all of you and will always be one of the "Jeske" family, one of the best there is. |
