40 pages…can you believe that this book for my dad has grown to 40 pages.
The love for and complete understanding of who my dad is has been overwhelming. Every single person who has contributed to this, in a word, “gets him”. And every single aspect of his life, character, hobbies, passions, “quirks” has been covered by someone. I’m totally speechless!!
I’m so proud this man is my father…
The book…
I decided to include a letter from God. Now I know that sounds corny, a bit weird or just plain inappropriate. Almost like I’m making for but that was so not intention. My dad rarely attends church, except for the usual life events, but he is one of the most spiritual and God-fearing/loving people I know. He has even been studying hebrew so, in his words, he can address his maker in his own language. I thought a letter from his maker would bring a smile…If you highlight the pages you may be able to read it. Humbly speaking, it’s not bad…
There’s a bit of hebrew at the end to test him…
Here’s another sampling of the pictures…..
These 2 sets precede letters from my sister and I.
Kira wrote grandpa a letter too….
I think I can say this is one his favorite moments in life, holding his first grandchild.
Dad’s dad, mom and sister…
Aren’t these pictures amazing!!
I wish I could just give that sweet boy a hug…
More page pictures…
Last page….

I’ll post the birthday recap tomorrow….
Have a blessed Sunday everyone!!!!

WOW! Your Dad is going to love his scrapbook. You did an incredible job putting it all together. I love everything…the pictures, the compass, Kira’s drawing, and especially the letter from God. Please, please, please take pictures or video of him opening his gift. I would love to see the expression on his face. This scrapbook is pure love. Nice job, my friend!
