Papa's birthday month is in full swing and today is the pinnacle .. your actual birthday. Yesterday James and
I made little pumpkin
patch cakes. Today we'll decorate them and after your favorite meal.. Shake and Bake chicken we'll blow out your candles. We sure 
wish you were here to blow them out. We miss you so much and most days still can't believe you are really gone. Maybe because you can never truly be gone as you will live in our hearts for eternity. It still seems so unfair that your life was cut so short -- you had so many great experiences to enjoy. Oh, I miss you so much it hurts! I suppose you are watching over us and experiencing it all with us.. in some ways you aren't missing a thing; but we sure miss hearing your laugh, your perspective and your support.Happy Birthday!
Love, Lisa, James and John
