January 29, 1942 - Jerry's Birthday

Jerry turned 66 this year on January 29th. I planned a small dinner party with friends, Randy and Stef; Debbie and Stig; and of course, Mike, Dawn, Jake and Zack. Jake and Zack had come over during the day and decorated the house with a "Happy Birthday" banner and left Jerry some hand made Birthday Cards. Jerry was surprised when he walked in and saw everything. Unfortunately, Jerry wasn't feeling very well. I asked him if he felt up to having everyone over and he said he was. By the end of the evening Jerry was feeling pretty poor and everyone who was left decided it was time to go. I felt so bad for Jerry because he really couldn't even enjoy his celebration. A few days later, Jerry told me he couldn't even remember who gave him what and asked me to remind him so he could send Thank You cards.
