Happy Birthday - DAD

It is funny this week I had been thinking about dad a lot, I think about him every day, but this week the memories were a bit more often and I could feel him around. Maybe it is because it is his birthday!

I miss him - so much. He would be enjoying life so much right now, especially with all of the kids.. they would have loved their Grandpa tremendously. In hindsight the none of the younger ones have any memories of Grandpa, not even Logan. We talk about him all of the time and look at pictures so that helps me at least to tell Logan stories of Grandpa and what he was like. Lydia sometimes out of the blue will get real sad and if you ask her what is wrong she will say, I just miss Grandpa so much. He spoiled her rotten. She was the first granddaughter since Olivia - so that was an 8 year waiting span for a girl, instead we have all of these boys LOL.

I can already see us at mom's on Sunday eating cheesecake and signing to dad Happy Birthday and all of the grandkids chiming in and giving him home made cards and eskimor kisses. And then Ms. Olivia will chime in with her special birthday song that she does for everyone. And we would all be there even Cary, who is busy with being a Senior at the moment and Case probably would have called to wish him a happy birthday - what a great memory that would have been!

We miss you dad - a lot! Our lives are not the same without you here, there is a whole in everyone's  hearts and just a piece missing of our family. We know you are looking down on us and are with us every single day, but I sure do miss the hugs and the eskimo kisses!

We will have a toast for you dad, probably tomorrow night when we are all together, but until then, Happy Birthday and know that we all love and miss you very much!

Happy Weekend everyone!~
