Here's hoping you have a fabulous day!
We think about you a lot; the kids asked the other day if you would be able to come to our wedding/family dedication... I told them it's a very long trip for a very short ceremony, but wanted you to know that we would love it if you and Dianne could be here! Cat has heard so many stories about you... from helping Dad hold me upside down in the a/c duct (remember that? Mom has PICTURES!) to Gretchen licking Mom from the ankles up, from your taking me out in the Scout to test its ability to go nearly vertical on the cement wall behind that little strip mall out in Raleigh, to going 'muddin' with you and Bryan when I was all of 11 or so, from having my filet stolen by clever distractions to my getting you back with the 'illegal RV scam phone call.' *grin* You have been part of a lot of really wonderful memories in my life!
I think you and your family are positively lovely... if anyone in our little (?) clan epitomizes the best of what Dad was, and what he loved, and what he stood for, and all the wonderful things about him, it is definitely you. I know he was very, very proud of you, and so am I... I love you!
Just don't feed any more doggie biscuits to the kids. Dustin has grown WAY too much hair over the past 13 years, and I have to blame that on you... *grin*
Have a GREAT birthday!!
Hugs,
Sunny & Cat & Kids
