Thank you....
I am at the end of the day - my birthday. I am going to bed soon. I will sleep the sleep of the content.
Friday night was nice seeing my son's band perform at a local small venue. I found posters in the tavern with their name splashed across and I grabbed myself one. I also got one for my son and one for his band mate's parents. After they tore down their equipment I had my son and his friend sign their poster.
Yesterday I went into work - worked for several hours and came home. Took a shower and got ready to go out with Erin to meet some of our friends for dinner - then we were off to a concert at a church out in Hudson, Ohio. We all met for dinner at the Yours Truly. I was given gifts and cards by the boys (Liam, Christopher, Ken and my love). The cards were great. Liam and Christopher bought me a cute little framed picture bearing my birth name. The gift that surprised me the most though was from my love, Erin. He managed to frame the poster that I had gotten with my son's band name. But even more of a surprise, was that he had also framed wedding pictures of my parents that I had been meaning to have framed for years (literally). I was so touched when I saw those pictures that I cried like a baby. What a meaningful and beautiful gesture/gift. I will treasure this for years to come. I know I am marrying the right man.
We didn't get to see the concert after all - there was some kind of mix up and the performers were not at the church as advertised so instead we all hung out at a local coffee shop and talked and listened to a folk singer (his website is here) that Erin and I had seen previously at The Barking Spider (a fine establishment at CWRU for live music, the company of intelligent friends, and a good pitcher of beer). All in all a wonderful evening with people I love.
Erin and I went home, made love to one another, woke up and went to mass. We then got to have brunch with some friends of ours from church, afterwards, we went to pick out my wedding band. This evening we stayed home, had a wonderful dinner, watched Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and, in between I received phone calls from family wishing me a happy birthday and sending me their love....
Thank you - all of you. I am forever blessed to have you in my life and I hope I tell often enough how much you all truly mean to me and how much I in turn love you all.
