My niece, Kellie Thompson tells me that her dad, Chris Hadlock is the best dad ever! Kellie and Chris often play the guitar and sing together, and for Kellie, those times are her favorite times with him. Playing the guitar and singing with her dad is one of her greatest joys…his too. Kellie says that her dad is so incredibly talented and doesn’t even know it! She says, “He taught me how to play guitar.” And now her niece, Aurora Hadlock got a guitar last year and he has been helping her with her guitar skills too!! Chris is always busy working on a new project too! He writes his own music and everything he plays is gorgeous!
Chris works so hard between the projects at their house and traveling quite a bit for work but always makes sure he carves out time to throw the ball for his favorite child…Liberty, their dog! Kellie says, “Liberty loves dad so much and he is definitely a “yes man” when it comes to Liberty (and the rest of us too I guess, hahaha). He somehow 
figured out how to build a rack on the 4-wheeler that made it so that Libby can go on 4-wheeler rides with them safely! It turned out really awesome too!! Dad is always there for all of us though! From hanging out with granddaughter, Jolene in the waiting room for hours while I had her sister, Tayla to giving me a “Dad hug” before going to the hospital when I was nervous!! Sometimes you just need a hug from your dad! He is the best! The best dad and the best grandpa that never hesitates to be there for any of us!!”
Daughter, Jessi says, “He can do all the things and is always busy making everything better. Whether it’s their property or something we need, he is there when we need him and happy to help. I have so much fun with 
him. He is very funny and I think that’s why I am too. You know it’s true. He loves all his grandbabies and is such a fun grandpa. I have never seen him not working hard. He’s not one to sit still long. And everything that he works on, he is good at. He’s a natural at the guitar, fixing broken things, innovating new ones, and loving us. He’s the very best dad, dad, Daddio and we love him!!” Sometimes the family makes my job of writing a birthday story so easy. Today is Chris’ birthday. Happy birthday Chris!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
