Ann Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 For 25 years, June 10th was always a very special day for my family. The boys and I would always plan all kinds of special, wacky things to do to celebrate Dennis' birthday. This tradition continued until his last birthday! On June 10th, 2002, my friend and I planned a huge surprise party at her house and had over 100 friends in attendance. Dennis was surprised, but seemed a little sad at the same time. I think he probably knew this would be his last birthday. Today, all I have are the wonderful memories of 25 birthdays with the most wonderful man I have ever known. Memories are treasured but how I would love to have him here with me today!!! Yes, I know he is here in my heart, so that will have to suffice. This morning,my radio alarm woke me with the Tim McGraw song, "Please Remember Me." I know that none of you knew my big guy personally but please join me in a toast to one of the most wonderful guys that ever lived!!!! Happy Birthday, Dennis!!!!

patut Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Ann, thank you for sharing your feelings about it. I am dreading even the first birthday in September when I will have to go through what you're feeling. At least there's some consolation in knowing that I'm not alone. I so miss not getting my hugs from my guy. Somehow I get through it- and it's only been 6 months for me). My best, Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osirus226 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I'm a little late to the party but I just wanted to say that I am sure that your Dennis is with you. The song is your proof. My mom sends me gifts all the time, I love it. Happy Birthday Dennis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
