Today we would sing Happy Birthday to him as he strummed along with his fingers, closing his eyes to the sound of his family singing.
Today we would probably eat Abuelo's or Perini's in celebration of an amazing life.
Today I would kiss his cheek and tell him how much I love him, how proud to be of him I am.
Today we would all fumble around to give him gifts that severly lack to express how much he means to us.
Today we would laugh and cry at memories we have shared, each taking our turn to tell how he made us feel as if we were his favorite.
Today we would witness love from the greatest love story of all time. We would watch as two people look lovinginly at one another in amazement of another year of celebration.
Today he would be 90.
Instead today we will remember what it felt like to celebrate with him.
We will remember what his love felt like.
We will walk taller and be prouder today to remember that we are his representation here on Earth.
We will think of him looking over us from the place he lived his life to finally be.
We will strive to be more like him in all that we do.
We will call Nana to tell her we love her and miss her beloved today.
We will praise God that we even got to know him and be part of his life.
We will praise God that he was apart of ours and know that we are better off because of him.
Today we celebrate the Amazing life of the Greatest Man I Ever Knew.
Happy Birthday Grandy!!
I miss you and love you!
