I have written, revised, rewritten & erased this post many times over the past week. I wanted to accurately capture the essence of this man but it was turning into a novel. And so, I've decided to keep it simple.
Glenn is the father of four children - a set of twin daughters who are now 27, a son who is 21 and the 'baby', another daughter who is 18. He is also step-dad to my 2 sons.
Glenn had the twins in his early twenties, and after his marriage failed, the girls remained with him. Try to imagine a young man in his early 20's, raising twin daughters!!! Here are some gifts he has received from the kids over the years. They speak for themselves.
This is a pillow that the girls had made for him.
Happy 49th Birthday Glenn. I am so proud to love a man who is SO loved by his children. That speaks for itself. Enjoy your special day! xox

ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute. He sounds like a great husband and father. Happy 49th to your hubby Lisa.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet Lisa! Happy birthday to your husband. I KNOW my husband would have gone crazy raising daughters on his own!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm feeling kind of pressured because my husband's birthday is tomorrow (#47) and I didn't even PLAN a post for it! I'd better get busy.

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteWow! Happy Birthday Glenn! Kudos to you!! It is a lovely tribute, Lisa.
There is no secret to my signature paint! LOL! I call it "Laura's Signature Cottage White", 'cuz I took a plate in to Home Depot and had them copy the off white colour of the plate!!! I'm glad you like it. Now I am going to check on your powder room!!!
Hugs, Laura
The words of his daughters say it all..what a tribute. I have always believed if we can make a difference in one child's life what a wonderful world we would have...
ReplyDeleteWow, this is just the sweetest thing in the world. Happy Birthday to your hubs! We have a blended family and although not always the easiest thing in the world pouring love into the kids never do we come up short, they are well worth it. I bet your pretty darn awesome yourself!

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I am flattered that you took the time to go back through my blog archives. I plan to do some more posts on our ongoing renovations during the cold winter months, when there is not much happening in the garden.
Belated happy birthday to your hubby.
