Happy Birthday Mr. B

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today just happens to be my Dad's Birthday.  He would have been 52 today- so this picture is when he was 40. (That's why he is looking young!) Birthdays have always been a big deal- I love to make people feel special on their birthdays.  So in honor of my Dad I thought I would do a little post.  My dad passed away when I was 13 years old and I miss him more than words can say.  I always wonder what he would be like and now I wonder how he would be with little Evan.  That is what makes me the saddest is that Evan doesn't know his Grandpa Brad. 
I think he would grit on Evan's little piggies...
I know that he would love to play with him and make him giggle...
I know that he would give him swigs of his Dr. Pepper...
He would probably sit up to the bar and share his Oreo cookies and Milk with him too....
So today Dad I just wanted you to know that I think about you everyday and I hope you have a wonderful Birthday in Heaven!  We love you and can't wait to see ya someday- until then we will continue to live so that we can be together forever someday!
Happy Birthday!!!!

Wow Ali, I remember that fateful day so well. I think I had forgotten how young you were when he died. I remember leaving his funeral thinking that my life would go back to normal, and that your lives were changed forever. I know he is thankful for all the many choices that you have made that will lead you back to be with him some day. And he already knows Evan, he did all those things with him before he came down to you and he will do them again some day (except in Heaven maybe its not Dr. Pepper :) I hope so though! Say hello to your mom Ali. Love Marci
