Happy Birthday Josh

You thought I forgot huh? You thought I would let it go by un-noticed. How could I you little fucker!? That is why I am the coolest of all big sisters. I would never forget, even though you have been gone from this world for 8 years now.

This is my present to you. Every time I hear it I think of you. I think of our long drive from Waynesville to Atlanta trapped in the cab of dad's truck. The three of us, with you and I HATING what a shitty driver dad is. You took control of the radio and kept bouncing stations. Then this song came on and you blasted it. We screamed the song to dad as he laughed uncontrollably at how wacky both his kids were. I never realized that we both knew the words to this song. But we did. The movie What About Mary had just been released. I guess that's why we were so into it.

Did you know they play this at all the Angels baseball games after the 7th inning stretch? I sing it out loud every time to you. But you know that.

Anyway. Here you are. Happy Birthday. I miss you so much. But I guess in a way, thanks to memories and songs like this, we are still having fun together.
