During a birthday dinner, it's a tradition in our family to go around the table and express one thing you have appreciated about the birthday boy/girl that year. So, let's just imagine we're sitting around the table, and it's my turn, because today is my dear Papa's BIRTHDAY!!
Dad, one thing I have appreciated and admired about you this year, is your watchcare over your family.
Watch-care & ...to stay awake and keep a vigil, to spend time observing something closely, to guard and to observe... Watchcare is caring for the spiritual and temporal welfare of those in your stewardship...are willing to "bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light; yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort."
You watch over your family - to be with and strengthen them. (D&C 20:53).
Thank you for taking care of us!We know how much you love us, Dad. We can see it in all you do. I hope that some day I'll be able to better show you in that way, too.
I LOVE YOU, DAD!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
