Happy Birthday Brett, Brandon and Dennis

December 6

Dear Brett,

You are so special to Dad & I!  We try to tell you that often and we mean it each time we say it.  We love you and wish we could be with you on your special day, but it's not possible.  It was great that we got to spend several days with you over the last two weeks.  We are sooooo proud of you and what you are doing with your life!!  You've sacrificed so much in your young life by being in the Air Force not to mention the three times you literally laid your life on the line when you were deployed for months at a time in very, very dangerous situations.  Thank you for helping to give us our freedom!!  Thank you for the two sweet little men that you've given us as our "Grand Children!"  And, yes, they are grand.  You are one of the best father's that I've ever saw.  You love your boys and take time to do things with them.  That is so awesome when today a lot of people don't even want to be bothered by their children.  We love you so much!!  We wish you a very Happy, Happy Birthday!!

Dear Brandon,

Sorry this is being posted late, but I still want to wish you a Belated Happy Birthday!!  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be with you on your special day although Dad was.  Even though I wasn't with you, I thought about you a lot while I was in PA with my family.  I'm glad you got to WV that evening.  It was so nice to spend some time with you over the Thanksgiving weekend.  It was too short but at least we saw you :o)  I hope it works out for you to come to Grand Cayman over Christmas.  That would be great.  We are proud of you!  You've become a wonderful young man and a very hard worker.  We're proud to call you our son.  Again, belated happy birthday!!

Much love to you!!

Dear Dennis,

Just wanted to say Belated Happy Birthday to you!  Again, I wasn't with you on your birthday as I was in PA with my family.  I know you had a great day as you were able to be with Brett, Karissa, Caden, Jordan and Brandon!  What a better way to celebrate, right?  Even though you didn't get any deer on your birthday you were able to make up for it two other days of our vacation :o)  Thank you for all you do for me!!  It's amazing where God has lead us in our lives together.  You just never know where you'll go!  I hope you have a special year and that you'll have many, many more birthday's!!

I love you!!
