Happy birthday to my dad, one of the strongest, most durable men I know. You have beaten the odds, time and time again. From the conflict in Vietnam, to homelessness, the average man would have succumbed to one of these extreme conditions…but, you…you overcame them soundly, and you’re still standing. No matter what anyone thinks, I am a product of that resilience, and I’m proud to be. Thank you for making me a product of your strength. After all…your name isn’t “Butch” for nothing. π Here’s to another year of beating the odds. I love you, dad. π #HappyBirthday #father #dad #love #family #octobersown
