Today is Papa's birthday. I'm not sure how old he would be if he were alive...eighty something I think. He passed away while I was on my mission. I was pretty close to him and sometimes I sure do miss him. I wish that he could meet Wes, I know he would really like him. And my kids. One day he will.
Since my birthday is tomorrow, we always joked that we were only a day apart. Every year for as long as I can remember, we would go to Leatherby's to celebrate our birthdays. They have the best ice cream in the whole world! We would always get the same thing, every time. We would get the chicken fingers basket to share and then I would get my caramel sunday and he would get his banana split. He would always tell them to sing happy birthday to me even though we were there for both of us. I always loved it. I have lots of memories of Papa, but this is one of my favorites because it was something special between just the two of us.
Happy birthday!
