the big 6-0

It's my dad's 60th birthday today! So Happy Birthday DAD!! It's hard to believe that my folks are so old - but I guess that means that I am getting old too. Soon they will be crossing over to the mouldy oldy stage but thank God that they're still pretty fit and healthy :)

My Dad is pretty cool - One thing is for sure, there ain't too many blokes out there like my pops! He's a character-and-a-half. I think he's put up with me heaps and we've definitely had our fair share of 'misunderstandings' but thank God that I get along with him pretty well nowadays! He can still be pretty embarrassing but I guess that all comes as standard in any Dad - I just got a bonus amount in mine! :P

The other day my bro and I were recalling some memories with Dad - like him telling us bedtime stories starring our cousin, Fei Gor Gor, who got up to all kinds of adventures (my Dad used to fall asleep mid-story, and we'd have to wake him up to make him finish the story!). My Dad has also been a great spiritual leader for our family too - leading us in Bible reading and prayer on most nights (I think this really helped me grow up with God's Word hid in my heart). There have been plenty more fond memories and I just really thank God for the gift of my Dad! :)
