Happy Birthday !!

Last night, i went to a great old friends birthday. Uncle Jerry and it was great we were talking about old times as we tend to do when we gather, ghost stories, memories from years ago you know the stuff. I have known Uncle Jerry and A.Bessie since I was 16 that is exactly 16yrs ago too. We met in the church and I was told that he was to be in charge of the sacristy and that we would have to work closely with him man oh man was I unhappy the fella never smiled and he seemed so strict but as they say you cant judge a book by its cover and I totally misjudged him. As friendships go this couple are it, they have been there for every batch of altar boys since day one, always there to keep an eye out for us and feed us..man do they feed us. Over the past 16yrs there have been periods where would not see each other for months but at the end of our sabbatical from each other it would always seem like time hadn’t passed and we were talking just yesterday. At "events" in my life they have always been there, when I was in the army and had my first parents visiting day aside from my family, there were these two U.Jerry and A.Bessie, the morning my dad passed away they were at my house minutes after the ambulance arrived and at my wedding Uncle Jerry helped make the mass even more beautiful by his efforts in the sacristy. As you know Family and friends are the most important t thing to me, and these guys are family no doubt about it. Anyway here’s to a very
