Happy Birthday to Gommy

Gommy just had the best, most wonderful birthday she can remember in many a year!!! It started off with breakfast with Grandpa Mike, then off to the beach. The beach was calm, warm and soooooo very inviting and delicious. After four hours, we headed back to our little bungalow on the intracoastal. Dipped in the pool for an hour or so and then showered and got ready to have dinner with the family. Trace, Johnny, Sam and Brandon treated Gommy and Grandpa to delish steaks at a restaurant. Then the University of Miami beat FSU in football tonight.....All is right with the world again (the football world anyway). What a great way to celebrate your birthday. And the whole Nation was off today to enjoy my day as well....You're welcome :)

There have been birthdays from the past that have been pretty dismal. I can remember being away from family when we lived in Tennessee and owned a golf course. The only thing that differentiated my birthday from any other day was that Grandpa Mike got me a card and tried to make it special by having the golf club members wish me a happy birthday. I can honestly say it was very sad for Gommy.

I think Gommy has been Blessed lately because of how grateful I have become. It took not having a 'pot or a window' to realize what exactly was important in life. I can honestly say it was worth all the agina in the world to have this peaceful, wonderful life Gommy and Grandpa now have.

So Happy Birthday to Gommy is an understatement....Gommy is really, really, really happy. Thanks to all my friends and family that have wished me well. It worked.....I AM!!!!
