Happy Heavenly Birthday dad! I thought of you today and wondered if you were still here at 95...how would we have spent the day? What advice would you be so eager to share? It hardly seems possible that it has been 17 years since I have even heard your voice...that realization hurts my heart. I would love to know what you´d think of the times we are living in ...and I am smiling just thinking about having even a little one of those politically charged conversations ... like when we were...

Dear Dad, I cannot believe that today would have been your 94th Birthday. This year marks 16 years since you left this earth for a better place and it makes me stop and think, where has the time gone? I still get so sad to think that it's reasonable to imagine you could still be here with us today and that we could be surprising you with a cake and some crazy little trinket of a gift tonight.

I think about you both so often, so much so that sometimes I get this feeling like you are still here ( maybe at times you are in my dreams) and I could just stop by or give you a quick call...but then I catch myself. You were both my go-to after all -...

Happy 91st Birthday Dad, Man how I miss you guys... All the time! - if only I could brew up some coffee and sit across from you and mom at my kitchen table and talk about nothing and everything like we did so many times. The kids at the sight of you in the driveway would yell meme and pepe are here!! We would throw the cinnamon rolls in the oven and brew the coffee and let the fun begin - you always included them in the visit and they cherished the time spent. Those days were so average and...
