Now that I have climbed out of the spinning vortex that some people call life. You know! The vortex that drains all signs of energy and emotion that is within you.

You get it now don't you?

Uh huh... I knew you would understand.

Anywho... two days ago my wife celebrated her 31st........ (Ow!)........ okay, okay........her 29th birthday. (We all know how old she is.)

Even though I did not get to do as much as I would like to have for her she still humored me and said it was a good birthday. My biggest concern was for what came up today, two days after her birthday. It was on this day, March 12, four years ago that her dad was called home. It was a sorrowful time for all of us. He was a loving and God loving man. His family was truly blessed by his life. I was truly blessed by his life.

We all miss him dearly. The main thing that bothers us is that he is not here to share his love with the grandkids he loved so much.

L.T., we miss you and thank our Father in heaven that we were able to share this life with you.

To quote a phrase my wife uses, "Happy heavenly birthday, Daddy!"
