Mr. Chris,
First off, happy birthday! 50 is a big milestone, and while I haven’t been around you or your family for most of those years, the time I have spent around you has been more than enough to see what an amazing father you are. You may not be my dad, but I see you pouring into people in the same way that my parents do. You are an encourager, an adventurer, and a giver. You are welcoming, caring, and you are a leader. You are gifted in discernment and you have done an excellent job in raising your children to be sons and daughters of God. I am honored to know you.
May you have many more birthdays and milestones ahead of you!
