Rick and I got home from a concert (The 5 Browns) I took him to for his birthday. I forgot to tell family we would be gone, so they dropped by and left their candy bars and sentences for his birthday card. I'm sorry I forgot.
I had Rick open his present (hand made belt by my dad, Jim) and read the cards he received (Penny, Chris, Sheldon, his parents Keith & Cleo) in the mail and pictures from grandchildren. I finished up his candy bar card.
Then he read the candy bar card. When he got part way through he started to cry and I had to read the rest to him. Boy, was he happy and said he never felt soooo loved before. Success!

Thank you everyone for your love and heartfelt wishes! I can't believe that we didn't have any duplicates on candy bars without talking to each other about it.
The card that touched off the crying was from Luke. It was a rainbow with a person under it not a pot of gold. It said, There is something better than gold under this rainbow, YOU!!!!
