Happy Birthday Jay!

Even if you still had the cone head your dad always says that you had when you were born I would love you. Now, I may buy you hats for every occasion, especially a ten gallon cowboy hat, and insist that they looked wonderful on you so you would wear them everywhere, but I would still love you.


I was not there when you got your famous basketball goal for Christmas, but I was there when you got your first guitar. I can't wait to hear you playing and singing with the other guys. This may be the greatest talent of your life.

I was not there when you first started dating or went to the prom, but I was right there when you first saw, was smitten by, and won the heart of the love of your life.

And I was there when you first got to know the other love of your life.

I was not there when you were born or even when you were born again, but I am pretty sure I was around when you made Jesus the Lord of your life.

Happy Birthday Jay! I'm glad that we get to be in a family together.

You are a great son
