Yep, I can hardly believe that Brian is twenty one today. Seems like only a couple years ago that his sisters would dress him up and play with him. They loved having a little brother. Well he may be younger than them, but he is all grown up and towers over them now. Brian I miss you and I want to wish you a very happy birthday. I remember the times we would watch TV and we sat in the recliner together. Remember Monster House? No we couldn't share a chair then but that was not your fault. As I fondly thought of you all day, these thoughts kept roaming around in my brain:
cheesecake, snickerdoodles and spaghetti; smelly shoes, duct tape shoes and shoes under the covers; basketball, tee ball and neighborhood ball; loud bass announcing your arrival home at night and then you sitting on my bed and talking about your day. I want you to know how proud I am of you. You are an awesome guy and I can't wait to see what you do with your many gifts. God has blessed you with intelligence, gentleness, and humor and He has blessed me with you!
And this September 9th, I have a new son; Dorian. It seems only fitting that both my sons would share a birthday. I believe Dorian is 25 today. Dorian loves God and loves my daughter, what more could I want? He is giving to a fault and has an awesome sense of humor. Dorian smiles and his eyes twinkles. I am so blessed that God has seen fit to bring Dorian into my life, he is truly a gift from God. I think of Dorian and I am reminded of limes, refried beans peppers; Scrabble, Risk and dominos; preaching, studying and teaching.
Today I am blessed, I have two totally awesome men in my life and because of both Brian and Dorian, my life is a better place.
