Happy Birthday, Daddy...

Today would have been Daddy's 71st birthday. I miss you. I hope you know how much I love you still...you got a beautiful day for your birthday. See?

Amazingly, the lilies I transplanted from his yard bloomed for the first time today.

Yuki, sits next to me contemplating the day as well. He didn't get to meet his Papaw.


I tried to celebrate the beauty of the day despite the painful date.
