dear janet i would like to share this tribute to a great husband and father with all the ladies who have been as lucky in having a husband as good as mine.i found this in the newspaper about 30 years ago and had my artistic uncle make a copy on parchment that i hung in our living room.so many people have asked for a copy that i have handed out copies every fathers day.even with pd my dear guy managed to put up a basketball board so our grandchildren can practice when they visit.we are lucky that all of our 7 adult offspring live within a 2 hour drive and see us pretty often. back to tribute LITANY FOR A BELOVED HUSBAND mender of toys,leader of boys, wiper of noses,pruner of roses, changer of fuses,kisser of bruises singer of songs.righter of wrongs, BLESS HIM,DEAR LORD GUIDE HIM.
