Today would have been my Daddy’s 107th birthday.  But the problem is, I was already 72 when I lost him. And when things go on that long, you just kind of expect them to go on forever.  And then they don’t. Daddy advised me to never retire as long as I can work, because retirement isn’t really a biblical concept - except as punishment. Besides, I like what I do! I’m a financial planner serving hundreds of clients whom I love. I think Daddy lived to 100 just to show us that he could do it. But he showed me a lot of other things that I’ve been trying to live up to. I've noticed that when someone you really love dies, well - you try to take their place and make up for the things they might have done had they lived longer. So anyways, “Thank you Daddy for the great 72 years that any boy would have loved.”
