Gramps can't believe this is 7 years not with you on this day, it's especially hard. Thank you for always being there you were a huge part of my life and I miss you terribly. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and speak of you, the day you left a huge part of my heart left too. Your forever in my heart. Love and miss you to the moon and back times i
infinity

Palm Sunday was always the holiday I spent going to Mass with just you. We would then get something to eat after Mass and go back home to make the palm crosses. Our last Palm Sunday together, I remember we couldn't get a spot and you wouldn't let me drop you off, you insisted we walk together. Since it got late we ended up in the Spanish Mass, the look on your face was priceless. I could still hear your laugh in my head, it was a very contagious laugh. Since I was a little girl, Palm Sunday was a day just for us. God I would do anything in the world for just one more holiday but I know even if I had 100 more it still wouldn't be enough.
I loved your "Casino night" theme Birthday. It was our last Birthday celebration with you and we had so much fun. I loved decorating for your Birthday and showering you with gifts because you had the best expressions. Oh how I wish I can celebrate with you tomorrow. I made gifts for you and bought some things as well but it still doesn't feel enough. Still cant believe this is the third Birthday without you here. I miss and love you so incredibly much
Dear Vincent,
Hope you're enjoying the new pictures and designs that your Dolly has been using on your site. They show us more of the wonderful holidays and theme parties you shared with your family and all I have to do is to look into your eyes to see the childlike, impish joy you felt with Danielle and the family around you, celebrating. I envy the richness of the memories created there, so vividly described to me. Danielle knows how to throw a party! That is the TRUTH!! Every decoration and detail made it come to life as if you were transported to another country in a dream and woke up at a party meant to welcome you there. Is that what its like to cross over? I hope it was that kind of welcome for you, and now that your birthday is in only a few hours, your Dolly is probably remembering her shopping trips to get the goodies for your parties. I can taste that clown ice-cream ! Come and spend this birthday with your Queen of hearts and with ALL of the hearts that have missed you so much. You were all about forgiveness and healing and peacefulness---You were the magic bandaid for the broken heart--so I know that your work as a healer of hearts surely continues on the other side. If we learn to hear you and feel you, we can all still receive that healing, and so, my birthday wish for you and for all those you love so well...is that you will HELP US TO HEAR YOU and to FEEL YOU and to take in your love and wisdom, to USE it in our own lives--to FIND the very BEST inside of us--the "VINCENT" inside of us--to listen when we hear someones pain, to open our arms when we feel someone's fear, to put ASIDE our own small angers and with that energy, to make peacefulness instead. I have a favorite psalm--I think its a psalm but I'm not sure. It might be from St. Francis of Assissi--but even though my words won't be exact, I know you will recognize it. Here's what I recall: "Lord, make me an instrument of thy PEACE. Where there is turmoil, let me sow calm. Where there is blame,let me sow pardon, where there is selfishness...let me learn to give...where there is conflict,let me bring peace...For it is in giving that we RECEIVE, in forgiving that WE are Forgiven, in LOVING that WE are LOVED, and in dying, that we are REBORN into eternal life..in YOUR NAME..AMEM" Happy birthday with MY eternal gratitude for Danielle, who has so generously shared your heart with me and allowed me to stretch my human limitations each day...as I close my eyes and see your shining face. We will listen for you when we need you most, and you will be waiting there.
With your Birthday a few days away, I have to say your themed Birthday parties were always a good time and one of my favorite memories with you. Your expressions were priceless and it made me feel so happy to see how excited you got. The luau and casino night were two of my favorites. What I wouldn't do to have that again! God I miss you Gramps SO MUCH. Don't think anyone can ever truly understand how alone I feel without you. You were everything to me and I relied on you with every aspect of life. You were the greatest person I was blessed to have. Love and MISS YOU TERRIBLY
