July 17, 1924 – July 17, 2013 Happy Happy Birthday Pa!!

Dear Pa,
Today is your 89th birthday!! July 17th!! Happy Happy Birthday Pa!!! We love and miss you very much. Stephen, Tyson, Mom, and I celebrated your birthday today at lunchtime!! I wear your ring every day, Mom prays for you every day, Stephen and Tyson wear your tie-dyed socks on special occasions and sometimes “just because”. Stephen has been playing a lot of baseball….. We are all missing you…. I have your pictures around my home; when I look at them, I am filled with happiness knowing that I had you for many many wonderful years. I love the picture that Sandra took of you and mom in-between the rose of sharon bushes in your backyard. The look on your face is priceless!! I cannot help but smile!! I love you, miss you, wish you were with us, OXOXOX, For Ever and For Always, CArole – your most favorite daughter!!
PS I took a picture of the sky today just like you always did!!
