It’s Daddy-O’s birthday!! Here’s a never before seen throwback of the OG O Family. :-)
While there have been many disappointments this year, the one that hits me hardest is not spending time with my parents. I loved hearing about his low-key day, and just couldn’t stop thinking about how much I wish I could hug him again one day and feel his scratchy beard on my cheek. We said our goodbyes when his doorbell rang and I heard the neighbors singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love that he’s loved. I’ve always admired that about him.
As far as life around here, this week of virtual school has been ROUGH. We had a really awful start to school once before, many years ago, and this week felt as hard, discouraging and helpless as those weeks. I’ve put on a smile and lots of fun, happy family dinners but when all the work for the day is done and I crawl into bed, all the doubts, worries and concerns creep in. I know it will get better. It has to. I’ve never been so happy to see a Friday in my life!

Dear Amanda, I love this picture! Clearly we did not plan for this photo op looking at our hair and clothes. And DaddyO! I always had to harangue him to get his hair and beard cut. He said it made him weak!😸😸😸. Thanks for this memory and your thoughtfulness.
Love, Marme
Wishing your Daddy-O a wonderful birthday! My mom always said there will be a better day and you can trust that better day will come.
Sweet pic. Happy Birthday to your dad. Can’t get over how much your sister looks like her daughter😊
I feel your sadness. Me too. So hard.
Saying a prayer for your family…..
Happy Birthday to your Daddy-O! May he be filled with love and joy and be blessed with great health and happy times together again with all of you. Hip, hip, hooray for the ZIP-LOCK KING!! 🤴🎉🎉
May God lead you through this challenging time, Amanda. It will work itself out. 🙏🌹🙏 Jane
Happy Belated Birthday to your beloved Daddy-O! Hope his day was great and the year ahead will bring brighter days and COVID will be in the past. He raised two great daughters and I know he is proud of his grandchildren as well.
Happy belated birthday to your Daddy-O!! You are so blessed to have him! And I hope and pray this week goes better than last.
