January 8th is a special day.
I miss you every day and especially on your birthday.
Today is the day to remember the happy times.
Wish I could bake you another traditional birthday cake.
Maybe Margaret Mead said it best.
Remember me in your heart,
Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,
I will never have gone.
I do always think of you. You are never gone.
I hope that those who read this will remember to hold their loved ones a little closer, a little tighter and be very grateful for that love.
Beautiful post that I feel deeply. Happy Birthday, Pops. He is missed and always remembered. I know he is there with you in spirit. Love the pictures you chose. We are so lucky to have so many good memories. Love you and thinking of you on this day.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we have memories of you visiting us on the road. Love you always.
DeleteWhat a great friend, and Uncle, Dave was. Cherry pies, imperial stouts, and delicious burgers were some of our shared passions. I miss him dearly. There’s no one who I enjoyed fixing things with more than him. Happy birthday Uncle Dave!
DeleteI saw David’s birthday pop up in Facebook today and thought of you both. I know you will always be with him in your heart. Karen Phillips
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment to let me know. Not sure it's possible to take someone's profile off of Facebook.
DeleteWe sure loved David. I'm emailing you a picture of the two of you from the day we met for lunch in Florida back in February 2014.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful picture Laurie.
DeleteThank you! I remember that day well.
That's very sweet. David was one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam.
DeleteHappy Heavenly Birthday David! While we never met, Sherry speaks of you so often when we exchange camping ideas and stories that we feel like we know you. Sherry is a wonderful friend to us and for us and reminds us of our special good fortune as a couple and never to lose sight of one another! We will celebrate you today on your special day! 💜
ReplyDeleteMary, you are so kind. I do mention David a lot in talking about rving.
DeleteWe spent so many years doing it together. Thanks for being my friend and celebrating David.
A crown for Birthday Dave today! A big breakfast and a good beer with dinner and cake!! Grateful we were able to catch up with you in Virginia and get a Dave hug. He lives in your heart and travels the trails through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteYou hit it on the head Jodee, a big breakfast and a good beer. Wish he were here and you too.

What a lovely remembrance of David, Sherry. You two had such great adventures together...and such sweet birthday celebrations. I'm so glad we got to meet him. He was a truly wonderful person.
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurel. Birthday.s were a big deal. Not so much anymore. I am very glad you got to meet him and he you and Eric
DeleteHi Sherry. I thought of David on his birthday. As you know, he was like a big brother to me and made a difference in my life. I am so thankful that I met you two. Take care. - Pam
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. You are one of the wonderful things he brought into my life.
DeleteWe all miss David. Such a wonderful friend.
ReplyDeleteMiss my brother David. He was a special guy. Totally honest and straightforward and loved being with him. I'll always remember how good he was to his younger brother Randall. Glad that you two had so many wonderful times on the farm and on the road. I'm also glad to have a sister-in-law that stuck with him through his difficult battle with cancer. I hope he's out in the ethos somewhere kayaking and exploring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Roger. Love your last line. Good to talk to you today.
