Yesterday was my dad's 70th birthday. We threw a big party for him and his twin brother on Saturday in South Jordan, Utah. His remaining living brothers and sisters came and brought lots of their children to eat a really yummy potluck dinner and cake and ice cream (lots of maple walnut!). Robyn wrote an amazing poem for him. Noel copied and put up lots of old pictures. Samuel played in every dirt pile around the clubhouse. Nathan climbed everything he wasn't supposed to climb. Marion, Jacob and Adam played with at least 100 cousins. :) Dad looked really happy.
I attended his older brother John's funeral last year. It struck me that so many family members were there, they'd put together a great slide presentation, beautiful old pictures displayed everywhere - and we couldn't enjoy it with him! I really wanted to do a great party for Dad before we had to do his funeral - when we could tell him how grateful we are for him and what a great person he is.
Don't wait for your parents' funerals to put on a great party for them!
