Happy Birthday Zachary

Happy 33rd Birthday bubba.  

I have so much to say...so many feelings.  I cried most of Monday just preparing for today.

I wish you were here to see Aidan play football...

I wish you were here to watch Star Wars with Finley...

I wish you were here to hug Breslyn who cries for you at least twice a month...

I wish you were here to play UNO or "Goldfish" with Owen...

I wish you were here being loud and annoying...

I wish I could tease you one more time about Charlie Hough...

I wish I could lose Monopoly once more to you...

I wish I could wave to you as you drive by in your truck...

Music can break me or heal me.  I have found songs that do both...but these...burn my heart.  

This song came on while I was running this morning.  It's hard to run and cry at the same time.

I don't know why this song brings up ALL the feelings (probably because of the next song by him), but it does.

This song came on while I was grocery shopping Monday (yes, I was listening to Christmas music in September!)...and I broke down right there in Walmart.  This version, this right here, reminds me of our childhood, growing up together, Christmas nights and you staying in my room while Santa came downstairs.  

I love you Zachary, and I hope your first Heavenly birthday is amazing.

XOXOXOXO
