Good evening! Monday blog! Yes, I am tired! Weary tired! Tomorrow is my Birthday! I don’t say this for lots of B-day wishes! But, I think I have made it clear in the past that Birthdays, anybody’s, are very special indeed! It is not just another day! For me, God has a purpose for each of us! We should never stop looking, seeking, asking God, what and where is my purpose in this life! All of the times now that we have sat together in the ER, a hospital room, a nursing home or rehab center with our children! The love on their faces is so evident! We made a lot of mistakes! But, they see past that! They see a man, their father, that worked tirelessly for his family! They appreciate him! I always made his B-day special, as he did mine! When he became ill, I do my own B-day! We had pizza, my favorite food! Sometimes I do my own cake, most of the time it was Haas Bakery! Yummy! Tomorrow is still the day I was born! Cannot stop that! I treated myself tonight, with a manicure and pedicure! Ooooohhh, my feet feel wonderful! But, all day today, I thought of my childhood B-days, and a few that have left a lasting memory, one in particular stands out! Understand, if you never had the pleasure of any kind of birthday or surprise, it is still the day God chose for you to be here! That makes you a special child of God! My sister and I have our B-days close to holidays! I am about 3 weeks before Christmas, my sister is around 3 weeks after! Not a lot of money back then for both! I always wanted a cake! Sometimes I came home from school to nothing, I would be so disappointed! Then mom would open the closet and there’s my cake! I loved that cake! Homemade chocolate with creamy cooked icing! Oh my gosh, good! Now, the stand out memory from my dad! I loved the song, This Guys In Love With You, by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass! Oh my! My dad knew it! He came home with that record for me! 45 cents! I really loved it, but I didn’t tell him! My story tonight! Tell your parents what you appreciate before it’s too late! No matter how small! Whatever it was, it was a way to show love! Maybe the only way they knew how! Thank you dad for that memory, on my special day! Goodnight! God bless!❤️🤗🤗❤️
