View all 15 ReflectionsDaddy, today is your birthday and instead of turning 62 you are forever 29. I know that you are celebrating big in Heaven. The kids and I were looking at old pictures this morning and I was telling them all about their Grandaddy the hero that lives with Jesus. I wish that you were here to know them and love on them. I love you and miss you and can’t wait until we are reunited in Heaven!
