5 Minutes of Hope

Sharing the HOPE and encouragement we have in God.

Birthdays happen

Every year

That’s providing

You’re still here

Cake, gifts, party favors, celebrations, happy tunes, balloons, and the like usually accompany the festivities of the day.

Well, guess WHO is having a birthday … TODAY? My sweet bride. YES! Patricia Karen Emily Liquori Dial is celebrating another go round upon this planet today: May 6. Happens every year.

How’s THAT? What did I get her? WHAT DID I GET HER? She has ME! What more could she possibly want or need? Just kidding you, reader.

Ain’t no cake

For those who are gone

So blow up the balloons

Sing the song

A surprise barbeque last Saturday night with our precious family took her by surprise. An evening out tomorrow night with another couple at one of her favorite restaurants. And HEY, maybe another surprise up my sleeve.

Dear friend, getting older is ONLY afforded those who are still among us. So … CELEBRATE that person BIG time! Cherish, love, honor, appreciate, them with hugs, kisses, and loving memories while they are still among the living.

Celebrate life

This special day

Before they leave

And gone to stay
