A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

It's My Birthday!!! It's My Birthday!!!



My birthday always reminds me that friendship is the tie that binds. After a certain age, it is entirely voluntary. So exerting the effort to maintain a friendship really needs something.

It always amazes me, and touches me when people remember my birthday. Your birthday is the only day that is uniquely yours. There's no national recognition of it. So, it is made special by the people in your life. They remind you that those whom you love feel that your birth was a blessing to them. And in turn, you are reminded of how special they are to you.

So thank you to all of you who made my birthday special. For all of you blog readers, stay tuned. The next entry will be about the most special birthday memory of them all!
