Happy Birthday Dear One

Happy birthday my dear one. I shall come to you in my dreams tonight. We will speak of old times, and laugh with happy spirit laughter. We will wake up the family, but neither of us will care. We will have a picnic like we used to, and we will tell secrets. We will giggle and sing the parts of the songs we remember, Do the "nah-nah-nah-nah" thing during other parts we have forgotten. We will lie down next to each other, on our tummies and tell stories. Not ghost stories, but real ones. You will tell me heaven stories. I will fill you in on all the things that have happened since you left. We will uplift each other, and console each other, and reminisce. It will be the best dream-visitation we have had yet. Meet me in my dreams at 9:45. Or later, if you are terribly busy.

I think of my Dad on his birthday, and my mother-in-law and my father-in-law. They are the only ones I have lost.

As long as I can tiptoe down that hallway, all is good.
