Happy Birthday Dad!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today is my dad’s birthday! We thought that we wouldn’t see him today, since he would get home from work and be asleep before we all got home from the wake, but he ended up taking off the day to go to the wake with us. It’s certainly not the most fun way to celebrate a birthday, but at least he was with us and all of our extended family. Since the wake was held only a few minutes away from where my dad’s aunt and uncle live, we also got to stop by to see them for a little while, which was nice because we don’t see them very often.

We just finished with the wake a little while ago… we were there all day, except for an hour when everyone went out to get food, and when we visited with our aunt and uncle. Now we’re back at my Godfather’s house to eat dinner and celebrate my dad’s birthday. My Godfather, dad, and I went out to get food for everyone, so my Godfather grabbed a cake as well. It will be nice to let my dad know that everyone was still thinking about him and that we want to celebrate him, even though it was such a sad day. It should be a good night.

Have you ever had to balance a really joyous occasion with such a sad one? Tell me about it in the comments…

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.
