Watch the behind the scenes action at Rolls-Royces 3rd annual Super Bowl Celebration in Tampa, Bay
Happy Birthday Baby
My Dearest Husband,
You would have been 35 today. We would have celebrated big time. Gone away for a few days. Spent time together as a family of 3. It would have been laid back, lovely, fun and there would have been lots of kissing.
I typically spend approximately 6 months being older than you are number-wise. This is something that you remind me of constantly for 6 months…and then your birthday comes…and you shut up. I wish you were here so that you would shut up today about me being older. Instead I am left with lingering words on my birthday…reminding me that I am older than you. And the next day, I would be older than you for the rest of my life.
Today, my April Fool, I spent the morning with your Mom and LiDo. We went to a garden and walked around and I took pictures and we enjoyed the coolness of the morning air and the magnolia trees in bloom and the cherry blossoms. We took some fun pictures, beautiful pictures. We talked about you a bit, we ran after LiDo a lot, we just were. I decided to drive back home this afternoon as we are leaving again to visit Austin for a few days. It wasn’t just because we are leaving tomorrow and I have to repack things…I just wanted to be around our things. I wanted to look at pictures of past birthdays spent together. I wanted to be near your things.
I went through a few pictures, one birthday in particular. In 2007 when we went to Astoria and stayed at the Cannery Pier Hotel. It was a complete surprise to you. We took that Friday off and headed to the coast that morning. We stopped at Cannon Beach and the Pirate Kite Store there – I can never remember the name but the owner is an old salty dog pirate guy – and I told you to get any kite that you wanted. Because it was a Friday and the weather was a bit chilly, we were the only people in the store so you had Mr. Salty Dog Pirate all to yourself and asked a ton of questions and finally picked the one you wanted. We then headed for coffee at Sleepy Monk and then it was to the beach to fly a kite.
