“We ALL Wish DENNY a HAPPY BIRTHDAY”

When you take time to remember someone – WHAT is the “one” the “one” most remarkable…  “thing”  –  that,  you will always remember with LOVE?

DEN & ME 001

         “Just the best smile ever!”

Just looking at this PHOTO… reminds me to let everyone  –   focus on taking as many PHOTOS as is possible  –  and at all stages of LIFE.  You may be  young and ask, “Why take so many PHOTOS?”  “Why would someone want too!?

There will come a day… when,  you are older and grey – and   you  would like to show your children and grand-children  what you looked like,  when you were young.  When you are seen older looking  – with  some white and or grey hair  –  maybe even a little on the “bent over on the back  side”  due to operations – and you no longer move in a hurry –  and all  that you can say,  “There will come a day when you, too  –  will look and feel like I do, NOW!”

“BUT”…WHEN,  you can sit down with the youngsters –  and pull out a couple of boxes, and or  old “PHOTO Albums” –   NOW, just take the time for a real,  “Show and Tell” session –  telling all about  you, “yourself”  and all of the wonders in your world, that you were doing. The questions will be many…what was the occasion… who is that and is it someone we should know… where are they now… is it possible that we can visit them???

Something even better…  leave a “legacy” of these old and remarkable  PHOTOS adding  the best of  all, a story that they never heard before, because it is your “True Life” … who is in the photo and what they are doing and if at all possible – if there is a way to get in touch with them  – with  all of the latest of information  –  you never know – you just may have an eager historian in the FAMILY.

In the above PHOTO… my brother DENNY McClarren  came home for “Thanksgiving Holiday leave” – I had just  brought home…  a large ham – and,  just to see if it was  the very best of  hams – straight from “Krey Packing Company”  in North Saint Louis – as I was working there, then –  just had to try a couple of slices – and that,  is what I have in my hands. But… with the excitement of the HOLIDAY SEASON – just had to give DENNY a complete up-date,  of so much  good news –  and  as I  could talk and eat  – DENNY must be thinking –  that with all of this chatter – he is not  getting a chance,  to put a word in –  so the best thing to do,  is just “SMILE” and  his “SMILE” with his beautiful red hair… looking so good –  just lets me carry on and on!

“Some music to listen to – while thinking and remembering Denny as he floats on by on a nice big and soft breeze of a cloud!” “Just could be  that…  Cloud Nine!”

       “Happy Birthday Baby Denny”

Denny McClarren Jr. in the arms of his Mother… Today the 24th will be the “Big 81”  Birthday  for little DENNY…  Have  a big  and wonderful  “Happy Birthday Denny” from all of us… down here… on the Earth Planet!

This looks like it was maybe your very  “first trip ”  which would be from the hospital to home? At the time that this picture was taken,  in those days… the hospital would keep the Mothers’ in the hospital for at least three weeks… but that is not the case today. “You are in  LUCK…  to be able to stay  in the hospital  for a full three days!”    D.V.

That is  Mom’s writing on the photo.
