Happy Birthday to me!
2005
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Benny….Happy Birthday to me
and Buster.
Well, another year gone by, I’m now the big 3-4. Back in the day I was so happy to turn another year older, now, I’m not so sure. The days seem to be going by faster and faster. With the wife and kids, I want the days to slow down so I can enjoy all the good times they create for me. As the old saying goes…slow down and smell the coffee, that’s what I need to do for sure.
Yesterday, on my birthday, the greatest thing happened to me. My son and daughter came up to me with the biggest grins ever and their hands behind their backs. I figured that they were going to try to scare me with a spider or some other wild creature that they found. Well, they had torn a couple of pages out of a coloring book, colored the pictures and named them and wanted to give them to me for my birthday. LET ME TELL YOU…I almost started crying. There is nothing better than getting a gift, from your kids, of something that they took the time to make for you. You can buy just about anything and give it to somebody but you can’t really put a dollar value on something that they made for you from their heart, PRICELESS…
My two kids, Zack and Zoe, just made two pieces of paper more valuable to me than anything. I could only pray that this happens to every dad on their birthday.
