My dad is a special guy. Today we threw him a surprise 60th birthday party.
I'd been planning this for a month or so, along with my brother, sister-in-law, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We were getting people together who hadn't seen each other in years. It was meant to be a huge blessing to my dad.
And it was. But it was also a huge blessing to the rest of us. We left with our hearts full of joy and oozing with happiness.
Dad definitely enjoyed it and was surprised. My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much. I soaked up every last second.
It was
bliss. :)
