Dear Uncle Ken,
Happy happy birthday to you! I am so privileged to call you Uncle and to have your family as my own. How I loved elementary school years sharing a back fence and growing up as siblings, not just cousins, with Keri and Ryan. I love remembering your funny noises, charades and games as we waited for baby Emily to be born! I love how we frequently get to see you even now, how you love my children, how you have befriended my husband. I sure do love you!

I love the steadfast example you have set for us all. You are faithful to our beloved Memaw and Papaw. You are faithful to your wife and your kids. You are faithful to our heavenly Father, no matter what. Through all the trials, the confusion, the set backs of my growing up years, you remained faithful. You believed God with all your heart- that He was for you and for your family. You believed a Holy God over any man. You were and are unwavering in your devotion to Him. I give Papaw some credit for setting such a tremendous example for you :) but even more I credit our Loving God for His relentless pursuit of you, of Becky, of Keri and of Ryan. And I give you the honor now, on your 60th birthday :), of knowing that I saw and see your devotion and it encourages me and all who know and see you!

If I had to write only one word for you, it would be this: my Uncle Ken is FAITHFUL. Few things in life remain that stable, secure and unwavering. You and your love for God are one of those few. I praise God for giving you to our family. I praise Him for His faithfulness to us. And I honor you for you faithfulness to Him. Happy Birthday! May you feel His pleasure and blessings over you today and always!

Love you so much!
Kylie
