We had a ball! Then back home for cake, ice cream and presents! Jackson said at bedtime it was his best birthday ever!! A week later we did his halloween birthday party, and oh was it fun!!

Today I lost a very important man in my life, my Papa! He lived a great life and brought such joy to a room when he was in it. He never spoke badly of anyone, and he always treated Nana with such respect and loved her unconditionally. He will be greatly missed, by the whole family, but especially me, he will always hold a special place in my heart, and there will not be a day that goes by that I won't think of him. I love you Papa and miss you so much already, but I know you are happy, out of pain and with loved ones. I will see you soon, you betcha ya!! You will always be my sunshine!!
