I can't believe it has been almost two years. I knew I would miss you but I never knew how lonely it would feel to be here without you. I miss our long phone talks where we told each other our problems and then argued about what we should do about them. :) Sometimes I pick up the phone to call you even though I know your not there. You were the best brother. Happy Birthday.

Today is your 62nd birthday. I remember when 911 happened and you said it would always be difficult to want to celebrate your birthday on that day. I didn't agree then and I don't agree now that you are gone. How I wish you were here for me to argue that with. :) I will celebrate your birth today, and your life always. I miss you. I miss your voice. Happy Birthday.

Today is your 64th birthday and you have been gone for almost 5 years. The hardest 5 years of my life so far. Even though you haven't been physically present, I hear your voice in my head with each difficult moment and it spurs me on. Love you big brother. Miss you more with each passing year. The world goes not well BUT....The Kingdom comes!

Today is your 65th birthday and it is 6 years since you've gone. I wish I had something funny and glib to say but better to keep it real and just say today was a hard day. I said goodbye to a good friend, Dinora. (maybe you've met) Like you, she left us way too early. What's up with that? Happy Birthday big brother. Love you and really wish you were here.

Well, today is your 66th birthday and it is almost 7 years since you've gone. Well, this may be a first, but you were right! I am not an Edwards! Shocking but I just can hear you say: "I TOLD YOU SO!" Hahahahahaha! You are still my brother.
Miss you more all the time. Happy Birthday.

Oh how I miss you and calling you randomly for your advice. I feel very blessed that for the first 33 years of my life I had two fathers in my life. You always gave the best advice and made me feel loved beyond expectations. Thank you for being that for me, for my wonderful cousins and for my auntie Theresa. I miss you daily.

Today is your 69th birthday. I wish you were here so I could razz you about that. I wish you were here so I could argue with you about something, anything really, because you know every conversation we ever had always included an argument. I wish you were here so I could hug you. I just really wish you were here. If wishes were horses......I miss you.

I missed your birthday yesterday but, who am I kidding, that would have happened even if you were still here. 70!! You would be 70! I would say you were getting old but since I am just a few years away myself, I won't! Still missing you beyond words. Wishing you were here.
