Celebrate Life


Today Doug's family and I got together and did three things he absolutely did not care for.

1) We gathered to celebrate his birthday.
  • He would have been 40 years old today. Doug wasn't big on celebrating his birthday. I think it had to do with the fact that he didn't like to be the center of attention.
2) We went to Mass.
  • Doug was spiritual and believed in God, but he had long ago given up on church and organized religion.
3) We had brunch at Frisch's.
  • Doug worked at Frisch's for many years as a server. Once he quit he rarely ate there again. In the 9 years we were together I think we may have eaten at a Frisch's 3 times.
We laughed at the irony of doing things Doug didn't like to do on his birthday. We even tried to come up with other things we could do just in case he was watching. It was good to visit, laugh and celebrate his life with family that love and miss him as much as I do.

Happy Birthday, Pumpkin-butt. I'll love you always.

    I just found your blogspot Jeff and I have to say that you and Doug's love is one that other people aspire to have! I read your blogs and tears come to my eyes, not only for your loss, but for the romance that was there. You should write a book about your relationship. It would give insite to the closed minded people but also be an inspriration to everyone in a relationship. You two definately had true love. I could see that from hanging out with you both, but it truely is something to aspire to!
