Well, even though it is technically Jan 1, 2009 here in South Africa, it is still Dec 31, 2008 in Jackson, MS. This is my daddy's birthday. I wish we could do a visit every time something special happens, but it's less than 3 months until I'm there! My mom and dad spent the afternoon doing something that they have come to enjoy over the past few years... sitting in a deer stand down at Star. I haven't gone with the two of them before, but from what I can gather it is a wonderful, peaceful time that they can spend with each other. It is so wonderful that after living together, raising four kids together, and sending each of us out into the world that they still have so many things that they do together. Many of these things they sacrificed while we were all at home - singing in the choir, hunting, going to New Orleans for a weekend, just to name a few.
Daddy, I missed you today. But you were always close to my mind and my heart throughout my comings and goings today. I hope you had a wonderful birthday and many many many more to come. I can't wait til next year when I can help you celebrate in person!! I love you!! Happy Birthday!
