HAPPY BIRTHDAY! – HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE

Today is a very special day.

March 29 is the Birthday of my brother Ford, my Father in law – Lenny (aka Poppi) and my Sister-in-law – Maura.

Last year, on this day, Both Poppi and Maura celebrated in Heaven for the first time. It was and still is  – surreal. And my mind spins that the day is here again and I am still at a loss. I mean, life has gone on. PLOWED FORWARD. Figuratively, Literally…and everything in between. Freakishly so, but what are the options? LIFE is to be LIVED.

There is no book called “Living without Those you Love – for Dummies” with a chapter called “Birthdays”… We are ALL just winging it. But I do know this much : Ford, Maura and Poppi are the absolute LAST people who would want their Birthdays’s to be sad..here, there or Anywhere…so we just smile, We celebrate , we have a drink and some cake and say….

CHEERS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND WE LOVE YOU.

and  we HULA HOOP!
