Clear skies….
with a chance of meatballs. I took off on the eve of your birthday to take care of various errands including renewing the tags for Tacoma and Malibu Barbie. You would have been proud myDarlin’, as they both passed the test with flying (or should I say driving) colors. The skies have been simply amazing this past week and I can hear your voice, “Stop for a moment Baby, look up and see what I am seeing.” You’ve started something myDarlinRobert Kenui Pope – people make a point to send photos of beautiful skies as they are also looking up.
As the sun set in the night sky, we sit on the patio of a local restaurant listening to a solo guitarist singing Eleanor Rigby (Beatles) and Rewind (Rascal Flats) tunes while we pour over the menu trying to decide what to order. If you were still here myDarlin’, that would have been you, singing on the patio as the stars seem to hang off of the edge of the umbrella at our table with a backdrop of the constant hum of traffic just a few feet away.
Wish I could reach up and reset that sun
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up
Went by so fast oh so sweet
Make me wanna remake a memory
Wish I had me a time machine
Oh I float the moon back up in the sky
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up
Went by so fast oh so sweet
Make me wanna remake a memory
Wish I had me a time machine
Oh I float the moon back up in the sky
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine
And as I run my finger over the choices on the menu, I am glad that the girls are with me as we reminisce about times gone by. Aha! I know exactly what I will have, and laugh as she orders the same. A meatball sub – in your honor myDarlin’ because I know that’s exactly what you would have ordered.
The Time-Hop app reminded me today of your birthday last year, as we celebrated your new lease on life. I wrote of your infectious laughter, your wonderful music, your kind spirit and love of life. And today I reflect upon how grateful and blessed I am to have had you in my life – you changed my everything, my world, and my forever.
Happy Birthday myDarlin’….. Only our dear Lord knows when we will celebrate again with you in heaven and until then I will keep looking up.
