Every February 7th, my mom, my sister, Rhonda, and I go out to eat in honor of my dad's birthday.
This year he would've been 65.
Last Sunday, Rhonda and I drove out to Harrison and took my mom to a local restaurant for brunch. We ate delicious food, talked and laughed, and reminisced about Dad. Mom told the story of the time she shrank Dad's wool sweater when they were first married and we laughed til we cried.
I hope he knows how much he's missed.

That is the sweetest way to remember your dad! I know how hard it is to sit and remember the good times with them....it makes you cry & laugh & cry some more.
Love the photo.
He is smiling down and happy you all celebrate his life like that!
What a great way to celebrate his life! And just to get together to hear stories, swap memories and just be with each other has to be priceless.
Sounds like a wonderful day and I am sure your Dad knows and loves it!

Of course he does.
I can't think of a better way to honor him.
