Pappy's 53rd Birthday - January 19, 2008

"PAPPY'S" 53rd BIRTHDAY

Today is January 19, 2008

Dear Addy,

Well today is my 53rd birthday. So, let me tell you a little about myself and a little about our Harris Family history.

I was born January 19th, 1955 at the OLD St. Luke's Hospital on 8th Street and Boulevard Street in Jacksonville, Florida. I was born and adopted by Nanny and Hunny on that very same day. Your Mom or Nanna can tell you more about those details (Of which, I don't know much and never felt the need to know much detail about that) FIRST of all, I was so very fortunate to have Nanny and Hunny as my Mom and Dad... Had GOD given me the opportunity to choose anyone to be my Mom and Dad, I could have NEVER made a better choice! Actually, I feel like GOD made that choice for me way before I was even born and GOD don't make BAD decisions!

I was raised on the North side of Jacksonville very near I-95 and Edgewood Ave. in a community called Lake Forest. I lived at 7850 Marion Street, Jacksonville, FL 32208 from the day I was born, until the day I got married to your Nanna on February 21, 1976. She was born in Coral Gables, FL (Near Miami) but grew upoff of Merrill Road in at 7610 Wycombe Dr. Jacksonville, Florida 32211 in the community called Arlington.

Well, back to the BIG "Five 53 three" Birthday Party.

We invited mostly family over for dinner to celebrate the BIG day. That included: You and your Mom & Dad, My Dad, your Great Grand Pa (Hunny), Great Grand Ma Peterson, Karen, and your Uncle Justin. As usual, YOU were the Featured Guest.

I have a few pictures below for you ... Look at how much you have grown! You are a little over 3 months old, Not crawling or talking yet... You do however make some Funny little Sounds.  :-)

Love,

Pappy
