A Very Special Tribute

Today would have been my Dad’s 74th birthday. Dad liked nothing better than having a steak for his birthday. Mom likes a Ribeye, but not Dad, he liked a T-Bone, the bigger the better. In recent years, the local steakhouse closed down, reopened, closed again, reopened as a church, closed again and has now reopened as a Mexican restaurant.

Confused? Me too!

So, in keeping with the family tradition, we’re going out for T-bones at the new Longhorn that has opened near where the old steakhouse once stood.

I’m sad you can’t be with us but we know you’ll be watching. I don’t know if you ever got to eat at Longhorn or not but I hear they cook a really mean steak.

We miss you.

I'm sorry about your dad being gone, but it's great that you have a tradition to remember him by! He will be with you in spirit. The only thing I'm worried about is if he's waiting for you at the Mexican place!

Awwww, sorry for your loss. But he's prolly in heaven doing the same thing.
