I realized after reading the last few posts that I neglected to report on the birthday festivities that took place last Friday.
D and I had a meeting at the Children's Center (to discuss some issues that had been going in A's room - that are too boring and complicated and involved to blog about - suffice to say I think the situation is resolved.) The good thing is that D got off work early for that meeting at 4:30 so we were able to pick up the kids together.
We went to D's Wings - a place I know my dad would have enjoyed - and ordered just what I'd hoped - cheeseburgers and fries and Corona's (except for the kids who got lemonade and apple juice). We talked about my dad - we wished him well - we explained to A that we were celebrating his special birthday - since he couldn't be with us anymore himself.
When the time came to order the ginormous piece of chocolate cake, I asked the waitress if she had any birthday candles. At first she looked a little annoyed - and asked 'whose birthday is it?' When I told her 'my daddy, he passed away a few years ago and we're celebrating his birthday' she softened - but alas, still had no candles.
No matter - we all delved into layer upon layer of chocolatey goodness - and I think I was only teary once (or twice...)
So to good times daddy, cold beer, and chocolate cake. We all love you more than we can say!
