"You say it's your birthday."







Yes, today is my birthday. --So I thought I'd post some of my birthdays from the past.
1. The first one was when I was one year old. I'm holding a cake on my lap with one candle on it. (sorry the picture is faded--it was a long time ago. HA.)
2. Second picture is when I was nine years old. My sister Doreen, who was, and still is, seven years older than me, made the "birthday hat" I'm wearing. (she's sitting beside me.) My other sister, Marilyn, is sitting beside her, barely visible because of over exposure. That's my Dad eating the pickle with a fork.

3. 33rd birthday. My son Chris, who's now 30, is helping me blow out the candles. It's chocolate feather pudding with bananas on top (we were into "healthy" eating back then.) Hats made by the kids.

Thanks to all those who celebrated my many birthdays . The best "gifts" that I ever received, are my wonderful children, who are now exceptional adults. THANK YOU.

Happy Bithday, Dad. I'm glad that you were born and that you chose to have me and the other kids. But then again, I chose you as my father long before I was born. I'm glad I made the right choice. Thank you for all that you have done for me over the years and the support and encouragement that you continue to give me. Much love and respect,
Chris
