well my dads birthday tomorrow our first without him.me and my son went down the graveyard I bought a balloon and happy birthday sign to wrap around his headstone.i wrapped the balloon around the candle box double knotted opened up the happy birthday sign and it was the wrong one made of cardboard and unable to wrap it around the headstone.me and my son went looking for twigs to pin it into the ground.just as we got back my son said daddy daddy look as I looked up I seen the big balloon take off me the dog and my son tearing through the graveyard hoping the balloon would come down but it was miles away in the sky.after chasing it I forgot to light the candle as well.still I did leave him his can of beer mind you.txt my sister and she said knowing our dad he will see the funny side and I was laughing anyway.rest in peace our beloved dad and a heavenly happy birthday to you.

Hi Kenster, I'm sure your dad will be looking down with a big smile on his face! I had my mum's birthday last month, first without her and it was hard. I'll be thinking of you and your family. x

thanks I was laughing but my son was telling me not to laugh as granda would be upset.

Hi kenster1

Do you know what Kenny? That was the loveliest thing you could have done and your dear Dad saw the funny side of it, he could also have been sending you a little message there by whipping up the balloon! food for thought! Love the can of beer!
