Today is my Bro, John Vasseur 's, birthday. His first Angel Birthday. And the only time in my Brother's life he has EVER been called an Angel!
At this time last year we were getting his birthday off to a great start with an amazing breakfast. (The pic at the top). As per the usual we were making eachother laugh so hard that the other diners were raising their eye brows at us. 😹
It is still so hard to believe that was our last birthday of his that we would celebrate.
The "last" memories of events are the hardest.
But I am so happy to have them...and all of the others from our childhood into adulthood.

Tonight I will be celebrating my Brother's life with cerveza and tacos. Juan would approve.

Happy Birthday, my Brother
I love you,
Until Heaven

I am in Lincoln City today to pick up my Brother's Memorial glass pieces that I commissioned. They are absolutely gorgeous and they both contain some of his ashes swirled into the glass.
The larger heart is blue and gold to honor his crazy weird optimism for the San Diego Chargers. 😹
And the smaller heart is a pendant and is red and gold because it will ride with me in my fire red Jeep.
John spent A LOT of time, the last year of his life, riding passenger as I drove him to as many appointments as I was able. And to his credit, he handled it about as well as he could. He did not backseat drive me nearly as often as he wanted to. That was a very rare form of patience on John's behalf. 😹
Hopefully, my brother is laughing at the idea that part of his physical essence will now be a forever passenger in my Jeep as I am driving around.

It is good to have this beautiful, almost windless, day on the beach just spend some time with him.
John loved the beach, no matter where he was, although Hawaii was always his favorite.

I love my Brother,
Until Heaven,

My brother, John Vasseur , is undoubtedly looking down from Heaven with pride and love on his son, Aris. Aris is about to start his Senior Year in High School as the Quarterback for his team.
These are his media shots and he looks very much the fierce young man on the field that he is.
Thank you Nilima Vasseur for sharing these with me. 💜
I'm looking forward to attending his first game Friday with a whole host of other family and friends to support Aris. His Dad will be with us in Spirit. John never missed a single thing his boys did.
I've cried pretty much every day this week when I think about the game on Friday.

I love you, my Brother.
Until Heaven.
