HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIMMY

Jimmy turns 21 today. I remember the day he was born. My sister, Tracy, and I stayed in the waiting room all day waiting for him to come. My sister, Trisha was at school and Dad went to pick her up after she got home and she joined us waiting. We sat on the steps at the nursery hoping each time that the nurse would come out and let us know. Around 5:30 p.m. a nurse came out and told us that Mom had him. We were allowed to go in and I held him until the nurse told me that I couldn't, and I gave him back to Mom. He was born at 5:23 p.m. Such a tiny baby. After he learned to crawl he loved coming into our bedrooms when my sisters and I were singing to our records. He would get the metal hangars and proceed to hit us with them and we'd have to take him back out to Mom and Dad.
On our vacation this year I got to hang with him the whole day at the beach. We acted like little kids. Instead of a 20 and 38-year-old, it was like we were 10 or 11. I just wish we could have had Brian, my other 2 sisters and my other brother Matthew along....it would have been great!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIMMY.....I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
