Happy Birthday Bill

Happy Birthday Bill,
It doesn't seem like it has been 34 years since you made your grand entrance into this world. Oh the stories, I can about you. lol How you loved to put Bucky up to asking for something that you already told him I promised I would get. Usually I was flat busted when you pulled those on me. How the neighbor kid I thought was so wild and I didn't want you playing with, knocked on the door and told me you were cussing and I stood my ground and defended you only to walk out the back to door to find you saying the exact terrible words he said you had said. You were only 3. That was a turning point in our lives. I learned never to say not my boys. Of course, even tho I didn't say not my little boy, I had to say I would talk to you when the lady called to tell you were talking nasty too the little girls coming home from school when you were in 8th grade. I finally got so feed up with her mouth (me with a splitting headache). I had to tell her I knew from experience these little girls were not so innocent either. I knew first hand from picking up the phone to make a call and the suggestions this young was making to you curled my straight hair. So many times you would be fighting with the biggest boys on the playground because they had said something mean about your brother. You defended your family at a young age and always have. We never needed defending. But we loved you for standing up for what you feel is right. Bucky couldn't have care less what kids said it was a joke to him, but not you. Now you have a son and two beautiful girls and they are very precious. You still keep your children as close as you can guarding and protecting them. One day you will have to give them their wings to fly. They will sail away because they have been taught well.
