The Cole Chronicles: Celebrating SIXTY Years!

My dad celebrated his 60th birthday this past Saturday! All of my family gathered at my sister's home in Villa Rica, GA to celebrate this momentous occasion. Over the past month, my mother has been gathering letters from 60 of my father's close friends and family. My dad has never been one who loved a big birthday party, but we wanted to do something special to commemorate his 60 years of life. As we wrapped the letters the night before, my mom, sister, and I read quite a few of them. I cried over some of the very kind words written about my father, and I laughed a lot over the stories that were told about him in his youth. On the evening of his birthday, we gave all these letters to him. The letters were a big hit, and he thoroughly enjoyed reading each one of them. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the big 6-0! Happy 60th Dad!! I am blessed beyond measure to be your daughter and to have spent half of those 60 years with you!
