Dear Tim,
No joke, no kidding about this milestone birthday of yours, I am right behind you!
When I think of you, I see you as the most resourceful and productive person I know . . . next to my dad! You are always doing, making or building something for somebody. You always can figure a way to make it work! Though you're always busy, you've never been too busy for your children. You have never been too tired to take the masses out in the boat for a ride, skiing, or tubing, and at times never getting in the water yourself! Not to mention all the money for gas! You are a true example of selflessness!
When Steve and I had Lucian, we had to give him your name as his middle name. And now, his little Dylan has your name too.
I remember having you and Tracy over for dinner one evening after we had had Adam. We were nervous as we were about to ask you both a very important question. We wanted to be assured that if anything happened to us, that our kids would be taken care of. You both quickly replied - "We would love to do that!" We were so honored that you never hesitated but were so willing to take on the responsibility if need be.
Though many years have passed since then and many miles have separated us, our times together are always rich with you in fun, laughter and kindheartedness.
Timothy James, I wish you a wonderful birthday and I hope you feel truly honored on your day. I pray you will be blessed beyond measure in every area of your life with many, many more years to come.
I love you and celebrate you!
Lorrie
