CII is my father's age today. He peacefully moved into his eternal home thirty-one years ago, when he was 71. He carries with him 102 years of wisdom. 

Hi Dad,

Happy Birthday.
I miss you — but I want you to know, I’m okay.
You gave me everything I needed, and it was more than enough.
You taught me how to be strong, how to be kind, how to stand tall and the importance of Jesus in my life.
You did good, Dad.
I hope you can see me and feel proud — because I’m pleased to be your daughter.
I carry you with me, always.
I love you. Phyllis
