All kidding aside, he is a good guy. He is the kind of guy that I would like Lizzie to grow up and marry. Here are just a few reasons I believe that and am thankful for him:
* He only smacked me and broke my glasses once when I, indeed, deserved it more often! I readily admit that the day he smacked me, I hit him over and over. Lucky (for me) dad only looked outside in time to see him hit me! :)
* He is respectful and compassionate.
* The way in which he interacts with his nieces and nephews. He truly cares about them. He listens to what they have to say. He will even change a diaper if he HAS to do so.
* His ability to play cards (and cheat). Yes, he cheats. Just ask my grandpa. Rumor has it that he learned to cheat from dad.
* We learn much from his love of history and the genealogical work he has done.
* He is an incredible teacher.
* He is loyal to his friends. He would do anything for them.
* He takes my grandpa golfing in the summer and cares for him and my grandma when needed.
* He is trustworthy - which is good since he will be responsible for our children should something happen to me and Brian.
* His love of sports - he is a player, spectator and coach.
* His ability to calm people down when the family discussions get a little tense. "Hey, hey there. Ok, ok!"
* His love of books
* His sense of humor and ability to laugh.
Geez, no wonder "Everybody loves Jimmy!"
Jimmy, you are the kind of man I would like my daughter to marry one of these days. The characteristics that I desire in her future husband are why I am thankful for you. I love you for all you bring to the family.
