Today, 80 years ago this vibrant young man pictured with me was born into this world. This is a remarkable human! The eldest of 11 from an Irish Italian family in Connecticut, he quickly learned many responsibilities and had to grow up fast. Thankfully he met my mother and I was born. I am a proud child and brother, this man is a tremendous patriarch for our family... leading by his example! We are human and humans do slip, but isn’t that what makes life interesting. At 80, my dad still is writing daily, goes to church daily and is heavily involved with his church in so many ways... singing and playing guitar at mass, going to the local state prison to provide Catholic ministry for the inmates. I’m so proud to call this great human my dad, I love you! Happy Birthday you whipper-snapper! 🎉🎊🎈🍾💕 #greathuman #mydad #proudson #HBD
