July 7 would be my mother-in-law's birthday. She passed away two years ago. She would have been 86 this year. What a delightful lady she was. She never wanted a big fuss made over her. She would do, and did, anything for her children and grandchildren. She was a great role model for all of us.
July 9 is Cecil's birthday. He is the 'baby' of the Gass children. I think he will be 48. Considering Charles is 65, Cecil is definitely the baby! And I mean that in a positive way. He, too, is a hard worker, and a good father to his children.
Then there's my baby's birthday, July 13. What a precious gift God gave me 26 years ago. She is everything a parent would want in a child. She's smart, pretty, kind, generous, funny...I could go on and on. But the thing that I am most proud of about her is that she loves God. I'm proud that she is a doctor, that she is all those things I listed earlier, but I'm most proud of her relationship with God. She has always put Him first. (And reminds me that I should, too.) My only wish for her is to be happy! Happy birthday, sweetie!
I have some cousins (once, or twice, or maybe even three times removed) that had a baby the same day or the day after Valary was born.
July 15 would be Charles' grandfather, Frank Brown's, birthday. We went to California as a surprise for Grandpa' Brown's birthday when Valary was not quite 3. (We celebrated early). He died a couple of years later. The 29th Charles' father's birthday. I never got to meet his dad, Fulton. He died not long after Charles and I met.
April is another month with several birthdays. Isn't it funny how in families there will be months with several birthdays.
