Happy Birthday to my brother. He's a great dad and a very good guy. There aren't a lot of good guys in this world, but he's one of them. And I know this because he loved Jim very much and wanted to live by Jim's example of being a husband and a father. And Jim did a very good job, so how could he go wrong with that? I love his wife and I love his 2 beautiful daughters.
More than I can tell him and more than he can ever knowl
Happy birthday to my Step-dad, Dave. Actually, after 24 years, I guess I should leave the "step" off of it. He's a dad. He's one of my dads. And he's been a great dad. He loves my mom very much and he loves me and my children very much. He moved down here to help me out and he works very hard to make things easier for me. He probably thinks that I don't notice ... but I do.
I love him very much and cannot express how grateful I am to him. He's a great Dad.
And happy birthday to Gail. I've never forgotten that this was your birthday, too. I hope it's a great day for you and a joyful one (as far as as birthdays go!).
And for anyone else who has a birthday on December 18th ..... Happy Birthday. You share an amazing day.

Wow...what a number of people in your family who share a birthday. My sister was born on my mother's birthday who already shared that day with her mother in law. Today is my seven year old granddaughter's birthday. You are one blessed woman to have all of those people in your family. I hope you will take some pictures tomorrow to share with us online. Praying for all of you today.
Thank you for the Birthday Greeting. You made my day (even though it made me cry) (and I'm sure your not surprised about that) I really was not looking forward to today but it's here none the less. Before I went to bed last night the kids and I said our prayers and we, like always included you and a special pray of comfort for you and the kids. I love you J bunches and bunches!
Your December birthdays are like our July ones. My mom, husband, son, 2 stepsons and stepdaughter all have July birthdays.
Our church does a House of Prayer meeting on Wednesday night. It is very special as we just spend the hour at the altars praying. No sermon. No singing. Just praying at the altars on our knees. Last night our pastor asked us to specifically focus on those who have lost someone in the last year. Your blog and your family kept coming to my mind over and over again. So...know that last night at 7PM in Alabama I was lifting you up.
Good morning my darling daughter. What a beautiful post. You are a wonderful sister and daughter. We love you more than we can say. We are practically on our way, so we'll see you soon.
Today is my sister's birthday (and Brad Pitt's). I remember thinking that as soon as I heard the news about Jim from my mom, that they would always share this day.
I'm thinking of you often, especially today, and I'm never sure how to word this, but I think (I know) that reading about your love for Jim has made me a better wife. I treasure every day and never forget how lucky I am to have my soul mate here with me, even if at the time I am irritated with said soulmate and thinking about yelling at him. I think of you, of your words, and more than once I've suddenly given him a hug instead.
I know that so many people are praying for you and your family today and every day and I hope that you are making it through. Like you said, one breath at a time.
Happy Birthday D & M & D!!!
Thinking of you all from Oregon:)

Well thanks for the birthday wishes but I don't know that I deserve such nice words. I only WISH I could be half the man/father that Jim was. But I can say that I DO try, and I won't stop trying.
I love you J, and I love you too Jim!

Thank you for such kind words...and I didn't even have to give you any money to say them!
