Today...
Sunday, December 2, 2007 at 11:36AM my Dad would have been 58. Yes, it's his birthday and, well, it's not the easiest of days for our family. I was talking to my brother recently and asked him if he had any ideas on something we could all do annually to celebrate Dad's birthday together, even though we're all in different places. He said that when asked what he wanted for his birthday, my Dad would always tell him "say a rosary and go to church." :) Sounds so very like him. So, Dad, I can't speak for the others, but I'll do my part today, okay?
In honor of my wonderful Dad, let's see if we can get 58 comments here to wish him a happy birthday...and maybe say a little prayer for him (and for my mom). Thanks.
I'll be back tomorrow with more holiday spirit and pictures! (We saw Santa yesterday!)

Happy birthday Robert. Sending good wishes and hugs to the Probst family. With love,
I meant to say "Smith and Probst" families.
Amanda, I'm saying prayers for you and your family today.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Amanda. My Dad passed away on June 18, 2001, and it still feels like yesterday. There's jsut no one like Dad............
hugs,
Karen
Hugs and prayers for you all, Amanda! Blessings on this day of your dad's birth.

Hi Amanda ~ Like you, I lost my dad at a young age (I was 25). SO not right! We're supposed to take care of them when they're old and gray, to pay back all they did for us. So, I feel your sadness & send you {{{{hugs}}}} from all of us at CKMB.
"say a rosary and go to church."
That sounds like something a good father would say. A good father who wanted only that his children have faith and happiness. So, here's to your father, good father, who was well love and is well remembered.
My prayers will be with you and your family during this time of remembrance.
