*******A Heavenly Birthday For A Husband In Heaven*********

There will definitely be a challenge with these pictures as they are pictures of pictures and my old camera is acting a little wacky. This special day would have been my late hubby's birthday, so I wish him a happy birthday but he is having happier days than ever there were here on earth, so we will 'celebrate' his day with prayers and a visit to the cemetery while we are in Phoenix, AZ.

Mario LOVED sky diving and you might be able to distinguish something from these two shots of the pictures of him free falling and sooooo happy.....

Is this better or worse, (darn camera)?.....


Here's our wedding photo...I was only eighteen and he was a "mature" twenty-four!....

This is a photo of him laughing when we were at a friend's house and one of the guys was coming up behind him....

I know this is sideways but my goofy camera took several upside down and I am time challenged now getting ready for this trip, so please excuse the goof ups...

I like to think of his love and the love of all others for him as going up to heaven and down to us through angel wings....

Since he had a great sense of humor and since Spanish was his native language, here's Garfield wishing a happy birthday....

Wonderful Mario used to work out alot so here is a body builder happy birthday...

And this is my thank you for so many wonderful years of bliss, what blessings!!!....

From the Internet, I found this sweet phrase and it is truly comforting....

"If you have lost someone you loved, then honour them here.

Capture all that was good, and all that was dear.

Let the pain wash away and wipe tears from your eyes,

For they are here with you now, as love never dies. "

My Mario knew that I loved butterflies for their beauty and symbolism, so he would often get me butterfly things....

Even though it goes without saying, I feel the need to just say to his beautiful 'soul'....

Most of all I must say this for such incredible blessings to have come to me in so many ways....

Mario smiled so much even in the most difficult circumstances and when he was even in pain that I think this flower so expresses him....

How about a smile in Mario's honor as he loved to have people happy and he was able to laugh at himself as well, even when he started getting old age jokes at the young age of thirty!!?.....

Did you hear about the 83 year old woman who talked herself out of a speeding ticket by telling the young officer that she had to get there before she forgot where she was going?

A well dressed, debonair man in his mid nineties enters an upscale cocktail lounge and finds a seat next to a good looking, younger woman in her mid eighties, at the most. Trying to remember his best pick-up line, he says, "So tell me, do I come here often?"

Two old guys were sitting under a tree, watching the sun go down. One says, "You know, I'm 84 years old and my body is full of aches and pains. You're about my age. How do you feel?"

The other guy says, "Oh, I feel like a newborn baby."

"Really," says the first guy.

"Yep," says the second one. "No teeth, no hair and I think I just wet my pants."

An 84 year old man went to the doctor for a physical. A few days later the doctor saw him walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. The next time the doctor saw him he asked how he was doing.

"Great," said the old guy. "I did just what you told me. 'Get a hot momma and be cheerful.' "

"I didn't say that," said the doctor. "I said, 'You've got a heart murmur. Be careful.' "

~~~Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Spirit, thank you for the blessings of loved ones in our lives who brought so much joy and who we will one day see again in Heaven with You.
