So, I know this is a couple days early, but Damons' B-day is Sat. so I thought I would write.
In some ways this year his birthday is a little easier. Don't get me wrong, I still miss him like crazy, but as of right now I dont bust out in tears everytime I think about him. That could all change the closer we get to Sat. though.
I do think I am going to make a banana pudding Sat. though, in memory of Damon. He LOVED banana pudding, but only if it was homemade with the runny filling....
Austin is doing good, he is looking and acting so much like his daddy that it is scary. He recently went to 2 different camps and loved it. I can't believe he is growing up so big, I have to make him give me a hug now. He thinks he is too old to hug his Aunt Brandy....I can still remember when he was my little tag-a-long. Now Savannah is his little tag-a-long. LOL Funny how life goes, isn't it?
I remember Damons' last birthday like it was yesterday. I wasn't able to go out with him that night, but I went by his house and left him a birthday card there and put some money in it. I usually never go for the mushy cards, I usually always get the funny ones that have no sentiment to them, that is just always how me and Damon were, but this time for some reason I went all out and got the mushy card. Along with a very long and sentimental message on the card, I wrote him a personal message telling him how much he meant to me and how very glad I was to have him as a big brother who was always there for me when I really needed him. I will never forget the phone call I received that night...Damon called me crying over what I had wrote and told me he loved me too, and we had a really long heartfelt talk. For those of you who know Damon, you know that was not normal, but I am so much more thankful for it now. I will cherish that phone call for the rest of my life.
So, happy birthday Damon, I hope you continue to watch over me in Heaven like you always did here on Earth.....I love you and miss you very much....Later
