My Daddy

So, if you don''t know my daddy, you really are missing out.  Not only is his heart as big as it can be but his stories of his everyday life are knee-slappin' hilarious and just sweet.  They really capture who he is down to the core.  Here's the story he just told me a second ago...
He works down on a farm and he helps raise all these cows.  The're about to start seperating the calves from their mamas, castrate them, dehorn them and give them shots.  There are 345 calves so I hope this puts the workload in perspective.  He said there's a mama that wouldn't stand up and the owner just gave up on it.  Daddy said everyday he's been taking 5 gallons of feed and 5 gallons of water to this cow thinking that it's got to get better.  She's having a hard time feeding the calf because she can't stand so there's always a puddle of milk under her that the calf couldn't get to.  :(  Anyway, it seems as though this has been going on a while and she seems to be getting stronger because if he prods her she'll get up.  Yesterday he went down there and there was something he found behind her that he couldn't believe.  He said he found a rugged, deflated balloon like the kind they have at birthday parties and when he held it up, it read "i love you".  He took it home and when he was telling Lynne about it he almost started crying he said.  What are the odds?  Its this a sign from God or the cow?  :)  It doesn't get much sweeter than that.  I love you Daddy and I love your stories.
I will try to post some of my favorites from time to time.  They will instantly cheer you up.
