Well today would’ve been my dad’s 56th birthday. He lived 50 long years and I know that’s not very long, but when you live with Sickle Cell Anemia the way my daddy did, every year counts. I remember my grandma telling me that the doctors said he would never walk or live to see his first birthday…Hahaha doctor, he lived to see 50 birthdays and he lived every single moment of those years. Anyway I’d like to share some pictures from his last birthday party. Enjoy
