Yesterday, the six of us enjoyed an early celebration of Matthew’s sixth birthday. We ate all of his favorite foods and took turns telling our favorite thing about him and predicting what he would be when he grew up. I think he felt very special. Looking back over my photos of our busy day, I realized I had inserted an SD card of Rob’s last two weeks. Six years to the very day,  I had scrambled to get a cake for an early and only celebration of his upcoming birthday and captured this photo of a cancer-ravished man still trying to live to his fullest. He had only one wish: to see his grandson.
