The late Stephen Taylor's birthday.
Today Stephen would have been 21 years old. I choose to shove back my bitterness
at not being able to share today with him and to celebrate his life and what it gave to
me.
My husband had a work party of firemen out at my sister's for a slab-pouring for our
shop/storage. Grandpa Kenneth came over and BBQ'd pork ribs and everyone
worked their ass off and I think we fed them well. I brought Ginnie and her girls and
I think they had a nice day in the country.
Stephen's friends, Kenny and Shane, are coming over to hang out in a little bit.
LATER: Kenny and his girlfriend Nicole came over for a while - Shane and the other guys
didn't make it. They brought a birthday gift for Stevie - a wooden skull and
crossbones plaque with a bone-shaped plaque hanging beneath that says "TIME
FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING RUM". He brought a bottle of rum to go with it.
We laughed and put it next to his urn with the other memorabilia. They also brought
me flowers. What a nice visit. Stevie is really missed and there is a lot of love in his
memory.
