Because his death came the day after Christmas, there is no way the day can pass, slip by, be unremarked. It sort of Looms even after 12 years.
So - I think it is time to make the toasts on his birthday, today, January 14. Remember the good times. Be grateful for the length of his life. Because it fit the conversation, I told a story about him the other night at dinner and everyone at the table, including Dean, laughed and cheered -- and none of these folks had known him personally. He just had a big personality and so his exploits continue to bring joy and wisdom. And today is the day to celebrate those.
And to wish Happy Birthday to two beautiful young women I know who share this birth date with him. Happy Birthday, Katy and Naomi! ~ with blessings
