Today is my sons 8th birthday! It's bittersweet. We are big on birthdays around here and always get together to celebrate each and every persons. My father will be missed today. He sings happy birthday really "silly" and makes Carter laugh. He would love the chocolate cake w/ chocolate frosting that I made.
Happy birthday to my big little man. He so reminds me of my dad in so many ways. I've always said that (my mother in-law has always said so too)! From the way he bites his lip w/ his upper teeth to his engineer wired brain!
What a wonderful song! I hope Carter has a happy birthday and that Kraig is improving.
ReplyDeleteAwww - Happy Birthday Carter!
ReplyDeleteHe does resemble his grandpa quite a bit!!
Happy Birthday to Carter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful song...Happy Birthday to Carter!! Even though today is bitter sweet, I hope he is still able to enjoy his special day. XOXO
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your little big man.............speedy recovery to your dad!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty song. I have never heard it. I hope Carter has a good birthday. Yes it is bittersweet. I am praying that his next birthday his grandpa will be there and everyone will be happy and healthy.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Carter!! What a very handsome young man you are. I hope that you had a super duper day and got to eat lots of that chocolate cake with chocolate icing (it's my favorite cake too!) Hope all of you had a good time on this special day and got to take some video so that Kraig will be able to see it soon. I have been so encouraged by all the progress he is making and I know how excited that all of you are. Lisa, you are right, we never, ever know what will happen in a blink of an eye. We all must remember that we must live our lives for the good of all and to never take anyone or anything for granted. Remember to always say I love you every day and I think I may even add "I wish you enough". I am still praying and thinking of each of you. Keep your faith, keep your strength and most of all keep the love. Hugs to each of you and I wish you enough.
ReplyDeleteI could not bring myself to go to your house tonight. It was to emotional! Not seeing Dad there to help celebrate would rip my heart out.
ReplyDeleteI miss him so much. He is there but not really. The joy of him waking up
has turned into wanting more. I know it will take time and I need to be strong but today I did not feel strong. Carter, so sorry I missed your day. I love you and hope you had a wonderful Birthday. Lisa that song made me cry. When we go through times
like this, sometimes we feel alone.
we all have times we break down when
there is no one around. I hope some day soon, (God willing) Dad will be able to read this blog. You are such a wonderful daughter, Mother, Sister,
and friend. I know we all have each other and we will never be alone.
I love you!
