How can you explain it ?

Gabriel Anson Taviano…..  9 lbs.  22 ”  born on Thanxgiving Day….
35 yrs. ago ……today !

Being 18…..at the time…..a deep love sat in , that I could not explain…
a young Dad….who would give him up….holding him in his arms……
we would cry at just looking at him.

Late in the afternoon…. Rock did leave to go “hunting”……smile
and yes….35 yrs. later he is out “hunting”…..smile

But –  ” with my back killin’ me ”  I just laid down a bit….
and tears came rollin’ down…..just thinking…

” WE STILL HAVE HIM…..HE IS STILL WITH US “….

That little son that God gave to us…..
to us all……Marla, Livi, Ava, Nina….
Tug & Angie,  Morgan, Reesey & Tanner
My Mom and Dad…. his cousins and aunts and uncles
Rock and I…
His Church family and friends…..

Is here….today to celebrate his 35th  Birthday…..

and I am so thankful to the Lord…..
that He allowed us….his family to keep Gabe in their arms….
for Gabe to bless our lives like only he does, in his way…..

WE had a “celebration” of Gabe’s life yesterday @ Thanxgiving….
there wasn’t one of us…that took for granted….
GABE was in our midst…..and we never will….

My thot goes to ” GOD CHOSE GRACE…..and we are thankful ! ”

Happy Birthday GABE…..Happy Birthday !
