Tomorrow is your birthday...

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day which to me is synonymous with your birthday, Dad's birthday. Every year I would try to find that perfect dual Happy Birthday/St. Patrick's Day birthday card, maybe this year it would be one that you hadn't received before...I still bought you one. I wasn't sure how to treat this day, many people asked me what I was planning to do for it, I didn't really know, I still don't. Tonight I saw a pretty green and white bouquet while I was at the store picking out your card, I bought it. Now, I don't think I have ever given you flowers for your birthday, so there's a new one on you. But those flowers are for me I think, I brought them home and carefully cut their stems and took my time arranging them "just so" into two tiny vases, I think they are beautiful. I definitely inherited Mom's flower arranging gene, because it sure didn't come from you! Imagine, you, flower arranging hah! I plan on taking one of the vases with me to work tomorrow, I'll keep it on my desk and think of you more than usual and I'll take the other to the Gulf to be with you . I'll have you know I'm expecting a spectacular sunset, so please contact the appropriate ranking officials up there to make this happen. I love you Daddy and I miss you every moment of every day.

I'll have them pour you a Guinness tomorrow and I'll be toasting you with mine...Happy Birthday.

I Love You,
