Happy Birthday Poppy!

Here's to 70 more wonderful years!

Here is the poem that Tim and Jake wrote and read for their dad tonight, after a rousing game of Don Ford/1945 trivia.

To see the world through dad’s eyes

Is to see the world as great.

Every person does their best

No hearts are filled with hate.

But look too long through dad’s eyes

You’ll want to turn and run

You’ll find that every word you speak

Is a groan-inducing pun

To see the world through dad’s eyes

Is to find the good in other folks

If you deprecate yourself

He likely won’t get the joke

To count ourselves among his friends

Is a monumental treasure

To see us grow and lead good lives

Is his life’s greatest pleasure

To see the world through dad’s eyes

Is to see it pure and good

An optimistic view for sure

Not often understood

But I also see the world his way

You might think us both mad

How could this world be any better

When you have him for a dad

Also, good news, Adam and Santa made up. Though I think in the end, Adam's favorite part person of the night was Uncle Brad, who gave him a tickle attack and had a pillow fight with him. Tomorrow, finally some time with the Thiel cousins!
