today is dad's birthday - he would be 68. We are all going to dinner over to mom's tonight and she was saying last night, well why he isn't here to blow out the candles. And she is right and it is probably more for us than anyone to be together. We always made sure we were all there on Sunday dinners when it was his or mom's birthdays. And he loved his cheesecake, not much of a cake eater, but he always had his own cheesecake that no one was allowed to touch.
It is weird in that we do not have a grave to visit. Because today we would probably or at least some of us would go and visit and bring him flowers and dust the snow off but it is okay. I visit with him everyday, I talk to him everyday and tell him the news of the day, but he knows what is happening down here. he is with us each every moment of the day.
So here is to a great man who left us too early~ we miss your laughter, your kindness, your love and your wonderful stories, we are getting by down here, but it surely isn't the same. So everyone have a drink on him or even a piece of cheesecake and say cheers and happy birthday to a one of a kind man.
I miss him ~ so much.
Happy Birthday dad, miss and love you always and forever.
Much love to all,
