My Dear P...
Happy Birthday. I guess you would have been 31 huh? Today we did some things to remember you... although A asked why we were doing anything since you are in heaven. So we did things, but it really was only me.
We went to buy some flowers this morning to plant around the house. I finally got some hanging plants that I've wanted since forever... They even had poinsettias, so I got a couple of those for the house. Happy Christmas.
We also had a good time with a few people we know... then... we went to watch a movie, A Christmas Carol. It wasn't good for A... a little scary, but she kept saying, "I'm brave" then when the movie ended happy, she told me she was only a little scared and that she liked the movie. She's so cute.
In honor of you, we went out for pizza. It was good. A and I got two cupcakes and brought it home to eat. Now I'm watching your favorite movie, but am wondering why in the world you even like this movie? You're a weirdo sometimes... I'm fast forwarding through a lot of the movie... You liked the movie so much you had a xanga account in the character's name. (I shake my head as I type this.)
KS said that she will go to memory park for me today... she's going to take you a little something from us. You know we'd be there if we were there... but friends are great. (KS thanks for going for me)
You know I would have made this a good one... just like the other ones, right?
I love you and miss you, always will. Hate that you're gone, but doing pretty darn good... God's been good. You'd be proud of your girls... especially A... she's growing up to be such a beautiful girl... today I thought she needs her daddy to take on all those guys that will be following her around. She already has a little boy at school who follows her out just to say good-bye. You'd be proud of your girls... I love you.
Happy Birthday buddy...
Love...
Your Es girl...
