April 8th...Dad's birthday is today :o) Give him a big birthday hug from us Mom...if you can catch him. I remember the dream I had about you, the one where you told me "Tammy, you won't believe this place". Debbie asked you if you found Dad up there and you said "OH YEAH", then the feeling I got of him having the time of his life. It was a feeling of he is always on the go...busy busy busy, having fun fun fun. So, Mom...if he stops long enough, give him that birthday hug! We miss you so much Mom! I had another dream about you. I can't remember much about it though. I do know that in my dream I thought you were still alive, so I tried to find you to sign papers so we wouldn't have so much problems with your house, but then I saw you, lying in your casket, so I remembered that you had died. It wasn't a very happy dream like I usually have Mom. I don't think it meant anything, like the others do. This one was just that 'a dream', the other ones I've had are definitely you talking to me! I took Jarrod grocery shopping again last night. He sure seems to enjoy that. It is so funny to see him push his cart around and fill it with stuff he likes to eat. He seems to like breakfast stuff Mom. He bought some a couple bags of hashbrowns, 1 1/2 dz eggs, 2 lbs of bacon, some breakfast bowls, biscuits...just to name a few things. He says he saves so much money doing it this way. He never goes out for fast food anymore. So that is good, I am glad it helps him. Sunday is your birthday Mom, you'd always tell us to 'forget your birthday', but secretely I know you loved it...especially the casino part. You'd tell me "I bet Debbie comes up to take me to the casino" and sure enough, every year for quite a while now, she'd come up and off you two would go. You loved that more than anything Mom. I wonder if they have casino's in Heaven? I am sure you'll spend the day there if they do. I am fixing a birthday dinner on Sunday Mom, in honor of your birthday. (Well, Dale is doing the cooking) He's fixing this beef dish that is smoothered in gravy and onions then you put it over mashed potatoes. You would LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! It reminds me of liver and onions, only without the liver. It takes all day to cook too. Then I am going to bake a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. That is the kind of cake you'd want. I am also going to the cemetery on Sunday, I want to get some helium balloons, write a message to you on them and let them fly away, so you look for our balloons Mom!! I miss you so much Mom, I wish you were here! Tell Dad I LOVE HIM TOO and happy birthday!!! I LOVE YOU ((((((HUGS)))))) *******KISSES********
