About: Someone's Birthday Today

Thirty-four years ago today, someone very dear to my heart was born.
I would love to wish this special someone a splendid birthday...
I would love to call this person and sing it myself...
In fact, I'd love to fly out and see this person to sing myself...

But I can't.

You see, today is my dearly beloved brother's birthday.
He's in Heaven now... and obviously, I can't fly out to see him anymore. *sigh*

Today was a day of happiness 2 years ago...
Now it's just a sad reminder that our Isaac isn't here anymore to celebrate his special day.

Isaac did so much with his life.
I wish I could tell you every major point in his life.
But right now, I don't feel eloquent speech is coming to my mind.

So... simply put, I wish my brother, Isaac Nathaniel Goodwin, a very happy birthday :)
Even though I don't think birthdays are celebrated in Heaven... o.O

Happy birthday, Isaac!! I'll bet it's your best yet, eh? Living before the face of God....

Love you, Emmy Rae,

Beautiful Emily. Don't be sad--you will see him again and I'm sure it will be such a joyous time worshipping Jesus alongside your brother. Happy Birthday Issac!
