What do 1 11 and 50 have in common -- Happy Birthday JR
On this day 50 years ago, a Very Good Man was born. Most everyone here knows that he is a lawyer, and a father, and a Skins fan (obviously). But he didn't come by that just because of station in life, we weren't super rich, or super poor, our father worked every day to make a home for his children and wife. JR faced challenges, especially one where his health went south, but he never backed away, or gave up. He wasn't a super smart know everything so I can sleep through class kinda guy - he struggled his way through college, but he did his best, worked hard and succeeded at it, because that's who he is.
One of his more telling motto's is "You do right, just because it's the right thing to do" and if you inspect his life you would find he lives to that ideal in every aspect. He works hard, and does the right thing even when others around him maybe don't. He loves his wife and kids, and throughout anything, would do everything for them. There is obviously a lot more to him than these few short words express, but I wanted everyone here to know that I am extremely proud to say that JR is my brother, and proud of the man he is. And to wish him a very Happy 50th Birthday. |
