Happy Birthday, Dad!

 Today is Dave Bradley's 64th birthday! Throughout my life, my Dad has given me a number of gifts which are without comparison.

1. Dad taught me how to dribble a basketball, a love of which will always be part of me.

2. Dad showed me the value of an education and gave me every opportunity to grow in my education.

3. Dad, along with my mother, passed onto me a love of books!

4. Dad provided me an example of what it is to remain.  In a day where many families lack the father in the family portrait, my father provided me an example of what it is to be steadfast in commitment to family.

5. Dad shared with me countless nights watching the Missouri Tigers play ball!

6. Dad passed down to me a love of good ice cream.

7. Dad provided me an example of what it is to live out one's faith in Christ.  As an Elder in the Church, as a man living his faith at work, as a father living his convictions at home, Dad set a solid example for his kids to follow.

Thank you, Dad!  I love you and hope you have a very happy birthday!
