happy birthday, jay

Sixty-one years old tomorrow!

We had a small celebration here tonight, unlike our past family birthday parties.

It's ok.

He still attempted to guess his birthday gifts and ripped them open with his teeth, even though there wer no kids here to scream and holler.

We had an ice cream cake, peanut butter, only option in the freezer at the grocery store. It was great.

He did not breathe upon the cake in pandemic, swatted out the candles instead.

Jay?  Thanks for all the ways you show up and love this family. We are incredibly lucky having you.

We are hoping for a great year.

Love, all of us
