A father, grandfather, great grandfather, and the one who teaches us how much family matters.
Dad’s the patriarch of the Bird family. He makes sure we all have an opportunity to come together. Whether it’s gardening, cooking, hunting, fishing, or just visiting on the porch, Dad always wants to be surrounded by family and friends.
Dad’s a jokester. He likes to kid around and “ pull your leg.” His childhood friends call him Cotton because he had such light blonde hair.
Glenn, Cotton, Dad, Bird or Pawpaw…no matter what you call him, he will be the first in line to help family and friends.
One thing Dad does that we’ll always remember is he cooks a little extra and then posts pictures of the food on the family chat. He simply says, “Hog Law,” and we all know who’s able to show up does. If we show up last, we might be scraping the pot lol. It’s a good way to visit between regular monthly get togethers.
*His mom, Grandma Bird, was sick when he was born. He lived with Pawpaw Ted and Nanny Emma off and on throughout his childhood. That’s why you’ll see me referring to them as grandparents instead of Aunt and Uncle.*
