Happy Birthday, Dad!
Happy Birthday, Dad!Us kids love you VERY, VERY much!
Though you don't want any party to celebrate your 50 glorious years on Mother Earth, I had to do SOMETHING public to recognize your birthday! So here is Bob Buckel, through the years (or as many as I had in my photo album - you are sooo lucky I did not have the high school picture with your fro'!)
Bob Buckel... a man of many trades, many siblings, a whole heck of a lot of nieces and nephews, one superwoman wife, and five loving, appreciative children.
Though you may picture a rough looking motorcycle dude, our dad cleans up quite nice...
Not to mention he is a bit of a tree hugger, always planting trees even though he'll tell you it's for the shade, we all know he's trying to clean up air pollution one tree at a time:

He is a man that used to own a motorcycle...

On our many trips to Myrtle Beach, he always looked so natural in the lifeguard role:
Though in my adolescent phase of life it drove me crazy when my dad would play the "cool" guy, but with the years between this phase and now, I have to admit he does it so naturally...
And you always knew growing up in our house, that dad haz gotz yo' back:
My dad went back to obtain his college degree when I was born. He worked in a factory, and went to school part-time for 10 years. I went to my dad's graduation, which is probably one of the most influential things my dad has ever done to me - walk across a stage to get a diploma. While working and going to school, he was also a part of a husband-wife duo that raised five kids...
So, he needed some extra sleep here and there...
I cannot quite believe that this photo was taken 20 years ago to the day celebrating my dad's 30th Birthday at the time...
...but it was, and I myself reflect how much has been accomplished in the past 20 years. I am so proud of you dad in all that you do for us kids, mom, the house, and yourself. You have been an incredible role model for us, and we all are very aware of how much you love us all. Keep running, riding your bike, changing your hearing aide batteries, and smiling! Love you!
