Feliz Cumpli, Papa

Do you remember what you were doing on September 11, 2001? I do. I was talking to my dad on the phone because that is his birthday. We were actually watching the news and talking when the second plane hit the World Trade Center building. I will never forget it.

September 11th had always been a special day in our family, and even though the meaning has changed a bit, it will always be the day that Ruby Miller birthed my daddy, David Stephen Miller.

I am very thankful to have a dad like him! He was definitely the leader of our family, but always knew how to balance fun and seriousness. I have so many great memories of crazy things that we have done over the years - camping trips in the blue goose, riding roller coasters, near death experiences in the ocean, zipling through the jungle, a-typical family vacations, even climbing volcanoes. I mean, seriously, how many of you can say that you have done things like that with your dad?!

Happy Birthday, Jeff! I love ya!
