When Pops was alive, I would always have to plan his birthday party as Momma just wasn't feeling it. I never minded. I'm usually pretty withdrawn, not in sadness but I get wrapped up in memories. I was blessed to have a step-dad who loved me as much as, if not more than, any paternal father could Today I again reflected on how happy he would ...
