HAPPY 17th Birthday!!

 We will celebrate with Dad and friends this weekend ... but had to do SOMETHING on his actual day!

I know he didn't love going to PT, but he does love soccer... so 7am wake-up call was doable!

This is how we woke up



Not a lot of response... hahahaha

I went to school to decorate his car and right when I was done, everything blew off.  Such a bummer!

But it had this on it (and balloons).  No clue what it means but I'm sure it's funny



I picked up his favorite food from Best Thai and then Connie came over.

We made his favorite pretzels... had dinner, gave tiny gifts (all he wanted was money and that's what he got from everyone).

I stole this photo... and he hated it... but I didn't care!


because we had already made him do this... LOL


My Insta Post


This was just candy and snacks... he's 17 - and his gift didn't arrive yet...


candy... and an excellent card


Connie is SO thoughtful!


and his infamous pretzels that he loves!!!


Happy 17th Tristan... and cheers to MANY more!

I love you more than carbs and puppies!!

Too heartbreaking, my Aunt just lost her sister TOO OVERWHELMING. I CAN'T GO BE WITH MY FAMILY. Then the call came that he was off of life support, and he died. My Uncle John, big burly Uncle Johnny... was gone. My Aunt Jeanne posted on Facebook. So I posted... then Auntie T... And then mom posted... and our hearts broke.  Just broke.   Every time we talk  - we just can't make sense of it. I know in time.. it will sink in.  He will not be there at the airport when I get home next trip. He won't be at Christmas or at the table eating sauce.  He's gone. BUT I WILL REMEMBER. I will tell the stories and I will keep him ali...

Dear dementia, You may be stealing my mom's mind, her thoughts and her words.  But you can never, ever steal her heart.   My Grandma will forever love me.    Here's proof.  She just sees T's face and the entire world lights up for her.   He's better than any Christmas lights.   I agree Mama.   Our love for you shines bright too!!
