in Sacramento with you and your family. Your dad's turkey dinner and gameplay. you were always so competitive. making love in the pool. good times. the drive down there was always a good time for us. I loved the white elephant gift exchange. I always had a good time. now you're gone so are your mom and dad. its amazing what happens in a decade. I miss you always...

Once again, it's your birthday... here I am still thinking about you and your Damn coconut cream pie lol. I've been reminiscing about all the birthdays we shared but the last one really has been on my mind. It's not my birthday you said it's dump day. John, you always hated your birthday, and for that matter, every holiday. I miss you so much. I still long for your loving arms to be around me, holding me tight. Happy birthday babe... still remembering always will. 

It was a beautiful day 11/10/2004. I had gotten my DL suspended due to failure to pay child support. We went to MC"s to get your pie and then over to Kmart, so I could go shopping for your gift. when I returned John had used his clip on sunglasses as a spoon & he had already eaten a good portion of his b/day pie!! He really made me laugh sometimes. He was ingenious, and was like a big kid caught eating his pie! As he drove home, I had a few bites using his clip ons too! In loving memory on your special day....
