Thanksgiving wasn't the same without you ... Mary and I went to the casino in your honor. After goofing around for some time, we tried to find your favorite machine, Wheel of Fortune. We searched in vain for some time, but saw Mom's "fishing game". We sat down and started playing. In Mom's tradition, we were losing, but suddenly a young boy walked by with a yoyo. What a bizarre sight to see in a casino ... we kept playing and suddenly we heard a haunting tune coming from the yoyo ... Happy Birthday to you... In shock we turned around - and gaped at the boy! All of the sudden, the machines went wild and we we couldn't lose. Thanks for coming to share your birthday with us, it was a magical time - somewhere in the mist of the casino you were laughing, your big smile lighting up our lives for a moment.
