We got snow today. First of the season. See it? Snow. When it started Andy and the girls were out in it, mostly getting wet, but celebrating all the same. Andy's mom (Mary) and I were inside watching it come down and getting a birthday dinner ready. Papa's birthday dinner. Mary was remembering that on the day Andy was born it snowed, the first snow of the season. She told me he was born at 4:18 PM. I glanced at the clock. 4:13 PM. We both smiled at the perfectness of it all.
Happy birthday sweet papa. You light our lives, fix our broken toys, bake the best bread, chop the wood to keep us warm, make us laugh until we wiggle, tell us stories til our eyes close, build us forts in the woods, and fill our hearts with joy. We love you as much as the whole wide world.

That was pretty special, as it did not snow here. And yes, he is special, too.
