Happy Birthday Grandpa

A bit of time ago, today, my grandma gave birth to a baby boy. She named him Danny and he became my "Daddy". I called him this morning and he was having one of his "bad" days. He could hardly talk and complained of pain. It makes me sad to think that is how he will spend his birthday. Whether he was able to hear me this morning, or not, I want him to know that I love him and send him all the best. I found this quote for him today:

"The holiest of all holidays are those, Kept by ourselves in silence and apart, The secret anniversaries of the heart...." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Laura is home today. She is complaining of a sore throat. I hope it is not strep. Secretly, I am looking forward to spending the day with her.

Tom decided not to go to Texas. Joe's funeral is tomorrow morning at 10 am, Texas time. Please pray for our family down there. On Sunday, the family is coming over for a "Tom Russell BBQ". It should be good and I hope, a lot of fun. The weather is to be really cold on Saturday, but better on Sunday.

I hope this finds all of you recovered from your turkey and may all of your left overs be gone.

Hey Shari,
A belated bday to your dad and our prayers are with you and all the family this morning. Hope Laura's feeling better and that you have a bright day.
Love!
