Today you would have been 91....I find myself often thinking..."what if" this or that. Today I wonder what type of 91 year old you would have been. That's all I can do it think it because of the act of Brian Woodcock. So instead of maybe coming to your house this evening & having supper with you I sit behind a computer screen & keyboard to tell you Happy Birthday! Painful yes, but today is your day.

Love you Pa,
