A New Man

My Dad was sworn in as a US Citizen today. He is
71 years old and has lived in the United States since immigrating from Holland with his family when he was fifteen. That's right; he has been here for 57 years!


I have always been a little bit proud of the fact that I am (was) a first-generation American. Today, I'm glad I'm not. I would like to have been with my dad this morning, but couldn't swing it being 1500 miles away. Fortunately
I received a few pictures via email. (Ya gotta love email.)

What a handsome man you are Dad. Congratulations! And thank you! I love you.
