81 years ago today Frederick Olan Sapp, Jr. made his entrance into this world...
...and boy! Is the world richer for it.
I freely admit it: I'm biased. But that doesn't change the fact that he's the best dad ever. His devotion to our family has always been his first priority.
I got my sense of humor from Dad...
...and my love of God, family...
...church, and music...
nature and animals.
Dad taught me the value of work and play,
...shared laughter...
...and food!
Together, Dad and Mom taught me that marriage
is about respect and kindness, service and surrender.
That marriages last when built on a solid foundation of faith in God...
...and that love means not only saying you're sorry,
but being willing to be the first to say it.
So here's to Dad, to 81 years of life well lived, love well loved, and lessons well learned. Here's to a man of God and faith, who has enriched all who know him.
Happy birthday, Dad.
I love you.
Karen

What a sweet tribute! Here's to Dads!
My dad was awesome, too, Karen.
Love this. Happy Birthday to a wonderful father!
I was just scrolling pass and was touched by your tribute to your dad. Congrats to him and 81 years! You can see a whole lot of love in those pics.
Ahhhhh, I'll betcha you shed a few happy loving tears while posting this in the wee hours. I'm happy God gave you Fred for a dad. I didn't have one like him, so like God Himself--but then He gave me HIMSELF for my Father, and Randy for a husband, and that made up for it so I could learn that kind of a man, like your dad! Thanks for sharing, dear friend!
