Waiting for the TGV. CDG Airport.
Yes, my traveling man is 35 today. Happy birthday, J.W. I don’t believe birthdays end when someone you love dies. SO, as long as I live…WE CELEBRATE!
I find it unbelievable that this is your third birthday in Heaven. I was talking to a “friend” (I know you are reading between the lines) the other day, and she said I must be “flat out wrong” on the number of your birthdays in Heaven since you have only been gone two and a half years. I tried to explain that is what happens when someone dies mid-year and their birthday is January 3rd. While I am not known for my math skills…I am a math maven in comparison. You would have loved it! Just saying…
Just chilling
I’d love to be a visitor to Heaven today to see how birthdays are celebrated. I like to believe there’s cake for everyone, champagne, balloons, and party favors. The gift is being in Heaven. Someday I will see for myself. Please tell God I’d like cake and a small crown (nothing gaudy) for my heavenly birthdays. And let him know I’m in no rush even though I’d love to see you…up close.
I know you are experiencing Joy with a capital J…all pain is gone. Of course, that makes me happy and provides peace, BUT being a MAMA (I see your eyes rolling), I miss you like Crazy (with a capital C). So much has happened since your last birthday, but you know that, so there’s no need to repeat it. Things are changing even as I type this. Just CRAZY!
J.W. in Puerto Vallarta. I think he was holding a slingshot. Good mama!
You have been the BEST Guardian Angel I could ever ask for. Who knew 35 years ago, when I brought you into this world, that you would now be watching over me instead of me watching over you? Okay…He knew. I appreciate every God Wink you send my (our) way. Your sense of humor comes through loud and clear…not always at a good time…but I still appreciate it. I appreciate you.
South of France…now that’s a happy lad.
I love and miss you. Big Daddy Dawg does, too (he gets teary occasionally, which I know must tickle you). Please hug Grandpa from me (it’s been a long time).
Happy, happy birthday, Sweet pea. Watch for your balloons. Batman balloons are not easy to find, but they will soon be headed your way!!
Rock it out in Heaven with your new peeps’ birthday boy!! Peace out, my precious one.

Much love from your Mama and BDD.
I also have a son in Heaven and I bet they are buddies and telling each other stories about their crazy Mama’s and laughing so hard.
Hi Dee,
Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
I can imagine our boys as friends. I would love to listen in on the storytelling…They are having fun.
Crazy mama’s…oh yeah!

Hard to believe three years already. But a close angel in heaven, watching down rather than for the necessity of others to watch over him. I love the pictures. GOD’s blessings.
Hi Mikala,
I know…three years feels like yesterday…feels like forever.
I think he is flying free, happy to watch over us! Those pics are dear to me for sure.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment.
Take care!

Once I stop crying and get myself together, I’ll begin….Happy Birthday J.W.❤ Barb, this is Debbie from Instagram who pretty much disappeared off the face of the Internet. So much has happened with 2 broken phones to boot! The Wine Country wildfires made it over the mountain to Solano County which is where we are We left for Sacramento evacuating for 2 days as it was 5 miles away. So many others had no time or chance! I’ve been in 3 big natural disasters and have God to thank for always protecting us. Lived in Miami thru Hurricane Andrew, in Napa for the Napa earthquake and most recent, the the CA wildfires. You take your papers, your pictures, anything of importance and first you pray and then you leave still praying. This March i lost a dear cousin who was more like a sister and I’m still very emotional missing her. Also, i quit my nanny job 2days before the fires. Never have I experienced such family dynamics. I could write a book! P.S. it wasn’t my charges fault! So… you’ve touched my heart once again and I wanted to say God love and bless you, J.W.was blessed to have you as his mom ❤. I just realized I should have answered via email, not use the comment section! Just erase after reading as I don’t feel like starting all over.Sorry!
Debbie!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, what a time you have had. You did disappear. The comment section is just fine. J.W would have loved you.
You have been missed my friend. Is your house okay? Where are you? So many questions! I believe your cousin is sharing bday cake with my son.
Love you my dear. Sending love and hugs and lots of prayers.

Oh Barb, this did make me cry… hugs from France…
Hi Janine,
Thank you for stopping by. I’m crying now…sending hugs right back to you.

Dearest Barb,
No matter how many years it will take, this remains with us for the duration of our lives.
Like my Mom who just celebrated her 4th birthday in heaven. She was only 16 days away from her 1st one…
Lovely memories you show here and they certainly make a cushion for old age — till we meet again!
Big hugs,
Mariette
Why in God’s name, would this have gone to spam?!!!! Really, really? Just crazy
Mariette, I’m so glad you said something. I logged in and had no comments waiting but I did have 8 in spam.
I checked spam and here it was.
Thank you!! J.W and your mom are laughing right now.
