Happy Birthday/Father's Day/Sunday!

[dodger_sister]

Today is my sister’s birthday! Happy Birthday to her! It’s weird, because we are LJ friends - even though she isn’t really on anymore - but I still get LJ notifications for her birthday, so I guess I will never forget

Veterans from any service, from any time period, are always brothers. It's a rule. Also, no matter where a vet goes, he or she will ALWAYS encounter another vet. That's a law of nature.

I love your stories about your grandfather.

Yep. That's the rule. My dad has discovered how you can find other vets on the internet now and he is marveled by the idea of it. ;)

I love your stories about your grandfather.

Thanks! I almost told this one at his funeral, but then someone else got up to speak and I was kind of relieved - public speaking, not really my favorite thing.

But the amazing thing is that it happens WITHOUT the internet! LOL

Totally understandable.

That's a wonderful memory of Grandpa meeting one of his 'brothers' and having such a good conversation with him -- of events that surely very few but they could truly understand.

And happy birthday to sister! If she was still on LJ I'd be happily posting a greeting. I hope she's doing well, and I still re-read her great hobbit stories.

It's like this grand common bond - we don't know each other, but we do know each other...kind of thing.

I will send on your birthday wishes! She checks her inbox now and then still. I just don't know where all of her free time goes anymore. I want more fic from her myself!
