Today, September 10th, is my brother Charlie's birthday. As a family, we all thought it would be very nice and special to get together, to have a remembrance dinner in his honor :) We were first gonna have BBQ foods, but decided on pizza :) Charlie loved pizza, and had lots of favorite spots here in our area, to get pizza from, including great oaks pizza, voc's pizza, asylum street pizza, Bozrah pizza, and more :) we're getting great oaks pizza, it was most likely Charlie's favorite :) my mom and dad always gave him a great oaks pizza gift card for his birthday and Christmas over the years :) earlier this year, Charlie treated us all to pizza :) he loved to do things like that :) he bought lots of pizza, and came over with about 5 boxes earlier this year, and we all enjoyed some pizza :) it was very nice and kind of him :) We're gonna be there around 4pm, we wanted to be there together, when it's 4:15pm, as that is the time Charlie was born. one of Charlie's friend's, and partner for about 7 years, Barbara, will be going to the dinner with us :) Barbara's a good family friend. :) it'll be very nice seeing Barbara again :) You all will be with us in spirit this evening ,when we go to Jenn's and family's house for a remembrance dinner for Charlie :) i'll share about the special dinner, in my journal tomorrow :)

A Special nature walk in honor of Charlie, his love for nature will always live on :) Earlier today, Holly and i went outside and had some special moments, of thinking of Buddy, and his love for nature over the years :) a love for nature that's deeply rooted from times we all spent in Maine years ago at my nana Paula's and grandpa Jack's house :) nana and grandpa use too have birds, for pets, they also use too rescue pets, and would have many bird cages in their home, and backyard, and i remember us going up there in the 80's, and you'd heard lots of birds, their birds, and in the backyard :) we loved going up there :) We brought nana Paula's and grandpa Jack's love for nature with us here in Connecticut, by having bird feeders in our yard :) Charlie and i texted often about the birds, and squirrels :) he would send pictures, and i would send pictures to him too :) when Charlie passed away, and my mom and dad began to help with cleaning his home, she asked me if there was any personal belongings of Charlie, that i would find comfort, in having, to remember him. the first thing i thought of, was his bird feeders, and how i believe it would be very nice to have them in our yard, so that Charlie's love for nature could continue on, with the birds being able to enjoy the feeders :)

nature has always been very special to us all, and we find lots of comfort in knowing, when we go out into our yard, and garden, we'll always feel Charlie's prescence with us, and his love for nature <3 each time we get to see a bird at his feeders, it'll bring us a comfort, and peace <3 We selected some very nice spots, to put Charlie's feeders today, in our yard, including putting one in the peach tree :) Charlie got that peach tree for us all years ago :) We also put some in the bird sanctuary area, and in the apple tree, over-looking our BBQ cookout area, where Charlie loved to come over, to grill foods, and have a BBQ with us :) the feeders are in special areas of our yard now, so that Charlie's loving spirit can continue to watch the birds, and squirrels :) we have lots of birds and squirrels in our area, and we look forward to seeing those spirit soaring nature sights, when they are visiting the feeders :) We'll think of Buddy, and his forever love for nature that will always shine on, with each sunrise, and sunset <3 To my brother on his birthday, Buddy, we love you, and miss you very much. It was very special to Holly and i today, putting his bird feeders in our yard. i look forward to trying to take some pictures of the birds, and squirrels enjoying the feeders, throughout the seasons of the year :)
