Birthday cake

I went to bed last night thinking of you and woke up with you being my first thought this morning:)  Happy Birthday, my angel!!  One of my little "rituals of life"  is to bake you a birthday cake every February 1st to celebrate you!  For the last 3 years your cake was shared with the FedEx crew at work but this year it will be at Uncle Russ's so if you listen very carefully today and you hear someone softly singing a little off key it will be me!!   I love you so much!

When I need a little
message from Jim,
it always seems to happen!
Open eyes...open heart...lots of faith!
It's late and I thought I'd put one of his
photos on my desktop before I went to bed.
I picked one of him and Luke.
When this picture was enlarged,
I noticed something on his right hand!
His initial "J" and a "heart".
Perfect...

It's going to be a Super Birthday Party!!!

Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl!!

There is Black and Gold everywhere...and hopefully
another ring for our boys from the 'Burgh!

I'll be wearing your #36 jersey
and waving your Terrible Towel...

Frank's making pulled pork,
Gabe's getting the wings!
I'm baking chocolate chippers!
There will be little one's about!
Sweet!
You would be loving it!


I know you'll be there in our hearts Jim!
You always are...

WE ALL LOVE YOU!
Happy Birthday!

February 1st...your day

Before you were conceived
I wanted you.

Before you were born
I loved you.

Before you were here an hour
I would die for you.

This is the miracle of love.

Remembering you today with all the love you can imagine
...and then some!
My tiny little sweetheart,
you were my gift 27 years ago today.
How blessed I was to have you in my life...
I loved you from the very start,
and I always will.
Happy Birthday Jimmy!
