For your birthday... I would sing you a song, invite as many family members as we could to your party becausebeing around your family always made you happy. I would take you fishing, fix your hooks and any knots that somehow showed up on your line. I would hold your hand and walk with you at what ever speed you could handle. I would fix you one of your favorite meals - fried shrimp, fresh garden tomatoes, cucumbers and onions in vinegar,corn on the cob smothered in butter, seasoned salt and pepper, a slice of watermelon with a scoop of ice cream and home made cookies. I would ask you to tell me one more time about how you put the smoke bomb into some ole guys pick up - or about the stunts you and Marlo would pull. I would play the piano or my flute for you - not that my skills are great - but you wouldn't care. I love you so much and I have such great memories of our times spent together. I miss you terribly!!!
I know you are doing great things where you are - and I know that one day we will see each other again. Until then...
Love your Dolly
