Another Birthday...Millers...


This morning at my kitchen table...I am reminded of a special family...The Miller's.   Today Chad Miller from Texas way (my Grandma Bessie's sister's grandson)...shares a birthday with his father (Everet) and his grandfather (Frank)...that has always been such a cool thing to me...quite the legacy...

Though today it is a bittersweet...as we can only fondly think of Frank and Everet...the Big E who recently left us...a big loss to many.   So today I think of Chad...of his Mama...of his brother...his sons...and all of his family.   Sometimes I am accused of talking too much of such things...and perhaps I do...but I do feel it important that those we have loved so deeply should remain not only in our hearts...but also in our stories...in our smiles...in doing so...we keep a little more of them with us always.

I had said something to Chad about seeing his Dad in him...and this morning this song seemed to fit...Would have been better if I would have put Miller pics in there...but you can listen to the song and run your own photos...though I put in a recent one that kind of shows my point.




And so I hope for a Happ"E" Birthday Chad...I know it is a hard one...but a special day to remember all the same and know what a special line you come from!    Just know that others think of you today and pray for you and your family.

Love from Colorado...Though it has been a long time...through your family...we are connected...
