Hi Kevin!

As you know, I remember this day each year but choose to honor you on your birthday. At the gym today, one of your favorite songs came on. It’s always the same playlists, never heard that song at the gym before. ;)..so I thought I’d stop by this page and send you a written shout out.

Thank you for so many fun memories and the way you still show up for me and make me smile. I miss your laugh! I miss your sense of humor!

Always in my heart.
