Tomorrow is Marty's birthday. I thought and thought about how to make it special for him. As time wound down today, still with no good ideas to celebrate, my
daughter called and asked if Jonathan could spend the night. What a perfect gift for Marty, a Papa and Jonathan night. Right now they are brushing their teeth together, they both have their systems. Next is bedtime medicine, (Jonathan pretends to do his swish and swallow medicine like Papa), then Princess Gertrude (Cory's Beta fish) gets fed. Then it is a "superhero flashlight show", bedtime story, and ice in a cup like Papas. Marty said this is the best birthday gift I could have gotten for him. Thank you Erin and Jason for letting Jonathan spend Papa's birthday eve with us.
Marty and Marissa went out for a birthday lunch to the Landmark this afternoon. I am so glad that they got to spend some good time together. I think that no matter how old a fathers daughter is, they will always be their daddy's little girl.
I must add that I am so grateful that Marty is here for another birthday. Two years ago, when he was admitted back into the ICU, I just wasn't sure just how much longer he would be here. God has a "Big Idea" as Jonathan says, for Marty. And for that I am thankful HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTIN JOSEPH. I LOVE YOU!
