My Grandpa Parks celebrated 85 years on Sunday.

85 years.

59 years as a son to a hardworking man.

72 years as a son to a fireball of a mother.

73 years as a brother to a preacher and missionary.

59 years and counting married to one woman.

58 years and counting as a dad to 2 daughters.

36 years and counting as a grandpa to 3 grand-daughters.

14 years and counting as a great-grandpa to 1 great-grandson and 2 great-grand-daughters.

On his birthday I captured many images. But this one of him at the living room table with our oldest daughter playing with Disney Princesses is my favorite.  He has always been surrounded by girls, but everyone who knows him knows he is, without a doubt, a man’s man.
