Happy Birthday In Heaven, Godson

 

Happy 30^th Birthday, Steven!

Sadly, you are not here to celebrate this momentous milestone day with us, but know that your Mom and Dad, Roseann and Gary Wessel, have already begun marking this day by remembering you on Facebook. I am sure, knowing my sister, many tears flowed down her cheeks as she began to write that remembrance.

Aa I recall, you were a boy, and then a man, who marched to his own drum.  It was, at once, both frustrating and amusing. But, now it is missed.

I am sure you are aware, but you are going to be an uncle again. Your brother, sister-in-law and niece will be welcoming a boy this summer. And soon enough, your sister will be getting married.

Perhaps, he would inherit some of your fine characteristics which showed love and kindness, humor and wittiness, and even talent when you sang and acted that all who knew you, appreciated when you came into contact with them. See what you could do to make that happen. Okay?

While you are at it, please give a big hug and kiss to Nana, Gramps, Uncle Tim and a tutta la nostra famiglia that you have the privilege to see every day wherever you are, and tell them all that they are missed by so many. But I am sure they, and you, already know that.

Godson, I vaguely remember my 30^th birthday, even though it was so long ago. I still have all the Beatles albums your Godmother, Aunt Anne Marie, gave me that day. And I still enjoy listening to them even today.

So Steven. Enjoy this milestone birthday and make the most of it, as I'm sure you will. And remember this. Although you are not physically with us anymore, you are always in our hearts.

Blow out your candles and make a wish. Happy Birthday Steven! 🎂🍰🍺🥂
