Dear Brother in Heaven, Happy 66th birthday!  I only wish I could tell you to your face and hug you.  I wish right now we were all out celebrating at some restaurant where they'd come by and put a hat on your head and serenade you while you protested, and we all laughed and, of course, put it all over social media.  I'd give anything for one of your big bear hugs about now.  I never in a million years ever dreamed that I wouldn't be delivering you birthday greetings to you here on Earth.  I thought it would be years before I even thought about you leaving this life and starting your eternal journey in Heaven.  I guess God had other plans.  I really try to trust His judgement, but sometimes I wish He would check with me first, you know?  haha  Oh well....out of my control, which you know I HATE!  However, it is what it is, and I/we have to make the best of it.  It sure is hard, though, even harder than I could have ever imagined....
