Happy Birthday Kennedy!

Kennedy...9/9/09....your tenth birthday. It was going to be a big celebration for
"my niner"! But somehow, I knew from the beginning, you were never going to live to see "double digits". I miss you every day.

At the office, Rob dubbed you "the worker". Whenever a candidate came to the office for an interview, you had to be in the meeting, too; we valued your input! Whenever there was a conference call, you were right there by the conference phone. A couple of times, we tried to close the door, only to hear you pawing the door. I remember one meeting with the head of the Dept of Revenue, when you let out a "stinker"....well, we never liked what they said in that meeting either. Once, on a conference call, a dog started barking ...and you raised your ears, but never barked back. You were the perfect office dog.

I know you and Poppy sent me Jack, a fun loving puppy who makes me laugh all day long...you knew I needed him. I do miss my wise old soul however...lots of love and hope you have snickerdoodles and Nordstrom pink cookies all day long!!

Happy Birthday Kennedy,
I've always loved nines too--only I'm a 49er (4/9/49)! I bet Papa has ordered up a huge birthday cake made out of pink Nordie cookies just for you. If I were there, I'd be roasting a special turkey leg for you! You left us way too early Kennedy, but the memories will last a lifetime. I know Jack will give your mom special hugs all day. xop

If only we could Fed-Ex a dozen pink Nordstrom cookies straight up to heaven in honor of Kennedy's special day. Hopefully Papa is doing that for us! (There MUST be a Nordstrom in heaven, right? It's heaven, after all.) Forever to be missed, sweet Kennedy! (And big hugs to Joan today, too!)
