Happy Birthday Dad

 Happy Birthday Dad, the day would be filled with lunch (probably fried chicken), lots of chocolate because yesterday V-Day candy went on sale and then there would be pineapple upside cake.  It has been bitter cold for the past 11 days and I know you have your long johns on and are bundled up.  We are fine here, you know I had to finally get a new heater after 21 years, was I lucky or not?  Anyway I know grandma has something special for you.  I would have brought mom to come visit today but as you would tell me "I don't want you out in the weather, just call me and we can do this another day."  So mom has a couple of appointments next week and we will come see you then.  I love you and I miss you a lot.
