It's hard to celebrate without the honoree

Today would have been my Dad's 85th birthday.

In years past, we would have my parents to dinner.  Dad and I would have a martini (served in the beautiful red martini glasses). Mr. L would make lobster, and afterwards we'd have cake and sing.

This is the second February 15th to roll around without my Dad.

But I'll hoist a martini in his honor tonight, and probably shed more than a couple of tears today.  Love doesn't end when you lose someone, that's for sure.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

  1. Anniversaries like this are always bittersweet. Tomorrow is the 4 year anniversary of losing my father. It brings up all sorts of memories, good and bad and makes me miss him like crazy.

    Happy Birthday to Lorraine's Father!

    I miss you Dad!
