Title: Kirk's Birthday
Post by: luise.volta on July 12, 2011, 04:19:54 PM
Today is Kirk's 56th birthday and he just posted this on Facebook:

Kirk VandenBerghe
My amazing mom, Luise Volta, just blew my mind with the gift of an iPad 2. Top of the line 64GB 3G (Verizon) with black leather case. When I winced about the extravagant cost, she informed me that it's my Christmas and birthday present for the rest of her life! :-)

(And I was serious! LOL!)

That picture of you and Kirk is one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.  Happy Birthday to Kirk, and blessings to both of you.

Thanks, Pam. I had already gotten him a card and put a $100. check in it. I do that every Christmas and every birthday because I don't know what else to do. It felt so flat. So I thought, why don't I just add up what I would send twice a year for the next five years and get him something that would make his heart sing?  ;D

Sounds as though you accomplished that goal, Luise!  What a sweet mom you are...  Happy birthday, Kirk!!!   ;D

I had to find some way to rationalize it.  ;D ;D ;D Kirk says he's holding me to it and I can't spend a dime on him until 2017. I will be 89 years old!! LOL!

(We shall see. More LOLs))
