A Special Birthday Wish

Well folks, today celebrates the 73rd anniversary of the year that one of the most wonderful, loving, wise and genuine men I have ever met was born. Its a beautiful Irish day too - which is perfect for a true Irishman, through and through. Its funny how I am picking up little Irish-isms and am asked infrequently where I am from anymore, yet he had a thick Irish brogue after living in Canada for over 20 years. Many a time were our arms burned from a teaspoon that was just after stirring a cup of tea or giggled over how the boys were silly enough to pee on the electric fence at the farm. With him I got to see a calf being borne, skin rabbits and play with goose gizzards and feel deep comfort in the sound of his voice and the smell of his cap. Just wanted to say a special Happy Birthday to my Grandad. I love you.
