August 4-To Doug,
You would now be 59 years old! Weird at how I'm catching up to you, I'll be 55 and you died at 56. It was always Doug and Deb, Doug 4 years older, the first August birthday, then Tanis's, Ollie's, Channing's , Deb's. This year, we just let the day slip away. Delaney, missing Dad so so much, chose some beautiful Red lilies and we took them to the grave. You would really love the prairie view there, hope the deer come visit.
We spent a couple days at Wakaw Lake, and Delaney caught her first fish, thanks to Ryan and Dan. Dana told her Dad would be proud, and You would have loved the fishing, but not the 74 steps down to their dock!
Hmm, I start these writings with so much to say, and then so few words come out. Anyway, Happy birthday Dougie, we just miss you each and every day.
Such a great photo of Laney. It is still hard to really believe Doug is gone. We were with Steve driving into Dalmeny the other day and stopped for him to get some tobacco at the Drug store and I made the old 'Doug-store' joke. We all smiled, but it was so very bitter-sweet. He is missed.
