Happy Birthday Buddy!

Today is my very first grandson's birthday.


And his name is not 'Buddy'..but that's what I have called him... for years.

24 to be exact.  Today Brian is 24..on the 24th.

Hey, I was 6 on the 6th once.  Guess we all have that once in our lives..

Not that you were 6 on the 6th..but you were your age on your birthday.

Wait, we were all our age on our birthday..that's not what I meant.



I mean, up until the age if 31..we have all had out birthday year match the day of the month...

So, unless there are 62 days in some month..I think we should stop counting birthdays at 31..

I think I may need more sleep..math at 5am is just not my forte..{nor is it at any hour of the day..}

I think I may have just blown a gasket in my brain..sooo much thinking sooo early.  I may have used up all my brain power for the day..

So Happy Birthday Brian.  You've been a pure delight..you made my heart expand to sizes I never imagine it could..

I couldn't be more proud of you..yet each passing year I seem to be.

You were a delightful baby..amazing toddler..a sweet little boy..a very respectful teenager and now a strong, smart, handsome young man.

You bring me such hope for the generation in which you will be leading this country in..

And your Grandpa and I love you more than you can even fathom.



Always have..always will.

XXOO
-me  aka Grammie

ps..if 'Grammie' sounds a little young..you can call me G-ma..or Gram..or even Grandma.  But I will always call you 'Buddy'...or Bud..or even Brian..

I was 11 on the 11th. I guess if you were born on the 32nd of some month, you're outta luck. And what a great looking guy Brian is. He'll probably read all of these wonderful comments about him. Very blessed!

happy Birthday Buddy, Brian. I can see why you are bursting with pride. He's tops. I was 24 on the 24th once, but not this month.

We call my grandson Rick, "Rooster." And I always will. (luckily he's not yet 6) I'm sure Buddy loves being your buddy. He looks like a dandy young man. I think you're lucky to have each other. Happy birthday, young man. You have a great Grandma--not a Great Grandma like grandmother of your mother but terrific (great) like--terrific. (Colleen, you're not the only one who's blown a brain gasket.)

The size of your heart shows with this one! Happy birthday to your grandson. (Say, I was once his age on that date.)

Happy Birthday to Buddy Brian! I too remember being 22 on the 22nd, and I'll go with no longer having birthdays after 31, I can stay that age forever! Have a great math-less day Colleen!
