Jacks Birthday

[Dusky]

Today is Jacks Birthday – he would have been 57. The man always looked like he was 15 years younger than his real age. To give you a point of reference he was always told he looked like the owner of Virgin Airlines – who is a very good looking Blonde man. He was also told he looked like the man on the Brawny paper towel wrappers – the one before they recently updated their advertisements.

I sure do miss him today. In honor of his birthday a neighbor and I are going to go to a nice restaurant in Phoenix and celebrate Jacks life. I also bought Jack a Birthday card – actually one that contained a message about missing him – and in it I wrote my own following personal message to him. Here is what I wrote:

My Dear Jack

I spent a good portion of my life –

28 years looking for you.

And when I found you I could never have imagined

that it would last only as long as the search.

Now I try to remember each of those years with you

and what you meant to me.

You will be in my heart and live with me forever.

I will carry you with me.

It will never be the same –

but I will never forget you and what you meant to me –

and what you gave to my life.

I will be a better person for having had you in my life.

I will leave this earth a legacy in your name.

You may have died –

but my love for you never ends.

Happy Birthday

With all my Love

Dusky,

What a beautiful message to Jack. Your love for Jack will never end.

You have always been such an inspiration to me. Your kind thoughts have not gone unnoticed. I am thinking of you today and hope you have a pleasant evening in memory of Jack's birthday. Also, just wanted you to know, my neice is having her baby today, right now, and he will share Jack's birthday. A nice thing, I believe.

I know you are missing Jack today, and always.
