This picture, by looking at Regan, must be from June of 2005, and was taken when we celebrated Keaton’s 4th birthday (he is now 5). My dad, Billy Wayne Riley, was born on this day (November 18th) in 1938 as the youngest of 7 children. He was only one of four that survived infancy.
Now, 68 years later, he is still going strong, giving great fatherly advice, loving on his grandkids, and traveling in an RV quite frequently with my mom. (They’re actually in Florida right now visiting relatives.) It’s a lot of fun to see how much joy they receive from our children. They’ve been married for 48 years.
Happy Birthday, Dad. May you get to see many more and watch your grandchildren continue to grow in wisdom, grace and truth. “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7.
