Here's to you!

This one's for you, birthday boy! Have you ever known someone who is more selfless than you can describe? Someone who genuinely wants what is best for all people, regardless of what they wear, look like, or believe? I do. And despite his appearance, he is 85 years young today. For the past 85 years, our world has been better because of my grandfather. He's the one that, no matter how late, will always be there to help out at the church because it needs to be done. He's the one that goes to the grocery twice a day and collects their unsellable food to make sure that the hungry of the area won't be, at least today. He's the one, even if he doesn't know how to load it, will work to fix the dishwasher when my grandmother asks. He's the one who would give you the shirt off his back if he knew that you needed it more than he did. And no matter what, his sense of humor and his wonderful attitude are what keep him looking like he's in his 60s. I hope you stay forever young! Happy 85!
