9.5.25 | The Day You Would Have Been ‘40’!

We celebrated you on this side of heaven with a little grill out with family!! Definitely not the way we wanted your birthdays to go… but grateful we have a place to go to gather and remember you!! We joked about how you’d handle turning 40, but we‘ve all come to realize that it is a blessing to turn another year older because it’s something that is taken away from far too many, far too soon, like you!! 🥺 Love you and miss you Geeks!! #forever33 #foreverloved #forevermissed
