Happy Birthday Pops!!
Dad would always say that there are no rules that say you have to have cake on your birthday. So every year for his birthday Pat would make him pie. Birthday pie as he would say. I don’t think dad met a pie he didn’t like. Of course he was so thankful for everything that Pat made for him.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and miss him terribly. But I know my pain is nothing compared to Pat’s who lives with the emptiness that was his life was on a daily basis. They were blessed to have lived out their retirement and did most everything together.
I think the greatest gift we can give those that we love who have gone before us is to live our lives to the fullest and to love one another.
I don’t know what’s for dinner this evening but I do know this.. Pie is definitely on the menu.
