Birthdays

One of Jim's birthdays that sticks out... is the year that Jimmy had the dinosaur cake. He wanted that cake SOOOO bad. All I remember is the cake. But I'm pretty sure Sha Sha made it. I also vaguely remember another cake with little army men. We always celebrated birthdays together growing up, and if there were balloons, our favorite game to play was "don't touch the ground"... it's one of the finest forms of entertainment

My other memory is of last year. It was Jan 31st at 11:55 p.m., and I sent Jim an IM saying... "happy birthday in 5 mins." He said "thanks you're the first!," and I replied, "of course, I'm the first, I'm your first friend"..... :-)

Eric is right... there are not enough words to express how much I miss you, and there are no words to describe how much I have and will always love you. happy birthday jim jim.

There are places I remember

all my life, though some have changed.

Some forever, not for better.

And some have gone, and some remain.

All these places have their moments

with lovers and friends I still can't recall.

Some are dead and some are living.

In my life I love them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,

there is no one compares with you.

And these memories lose their meaning

when I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never ever lose affection

for people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them.

In my life I love you more.
