Today is Jason’s 44th birthday…his 1st one in Heaven. Ugh…how all the first things without him suck. So many extra reminders of him not being here…empty spaces that were his.
If he were here we would go out to dinner tonight. Probably somewhere not too fancy because he wouldn’t want to make too big a deal out of it. He’d order an Old Fashioned…with bourbon, not brandy…sorry my Wisconsin friends who make them wrong…and then we would just spend time as a family.
This week I’ve been listening to this song a lot…”Memories” by Maroon Five
So if you’re thinking about Jason and our family today on his birthday. Raise your glass of whatever you are drinking…Old Fashioned or otherwise…and think of your favorite memory of him. He’ll feel us…I know he will.
Happy Birthday Babe Wish you were here. I would wake you up with kisses And whisper in your ear. Instead you are gone And nothing feels right. Without you by my side Holding me tight People keep saying You're in a better place. But you were happy here Always a smile on your face. I know you felt pain Memory loss and confusion Is it selfish to want you back? Death is an unfair conclusion. I hope you are happy now Painfree and whole Playing tennis like you loved Before the ability was stole. So happy birthday my love My angel in Heaven Keep watching over us Until we meet again.
Love, Tennis, and Cancer
