Tomorrow will be Diana's birthday. This is a picture of her and I back in 1967. Her dad was in away in Vietnam at a distribution center in Cam Rahn Bay. His job was to be in a warehouse passing out supplies to the soldiers. He was nowhere in combat duty. Matter of fact, at that time President Lyndon Johnson went to Vietnam and landed in the safest place there which was CanRahn Bay. So, anyway, Diana's dad was away at that time. Little did I know that he would come back and be so distant towards his baby. He never picked her up and held her in his arms. To this day, he has absolutely no relationship with her or his grandchildren. How sad is that.
I say, life goes on and we are only here for a short time. We have to make the best of life. Love our children and grandchildren, brothers, sisters, parents, etc.
Never give up on your children. Love them unconditionally. Let them know you love them by giving of your time and not focus on your money. Money can't buy love.
Diana is amazing, wonderful, kind, considerate and above all else is a God fearing woman. Just like her sister, Jeannette was. Gosh, I miss her more than ever and wish she was here to celebrate Diana's birthday.
