Today is my Dad's 70th birthday. I want to tell you a little about my Dad. He was born to Jiggs and Ruth Allsup in California, but he grew up in El Paso, TX. My Dad was taught many great things but I think one of the best things he's passed onto me is the importance of family. He taught me at a young age to look after and take care of my brothers and sisters. Now that I have my own kids I want to teach them to take care of and look after their brothers and sisters. I love my brothers and sisters and miss them a lot now that I don't see them on a regular basis. I wish more kids in this world knew how it felt to have brothers and sisters look after and take care of them.
My Dad was a High School art teacher for a gzillion years, but he was a fantastic at it. I think he really loved his job(most days). So not much after he retired my mom and him went on a LDS mission to Texas. They worked hard together and once again they loved it. My parents can do anything together......heck they had and raised 10 brilliant kids.
I love you Dad and am so grateful to be your "favorite" (I put that in there for you Amber) daughter. Thank you for teaching me the best things in life. Happy Birthday!
