Happy Birthday, Annette - Part 1...May 12, 2014

Celebrating what would have been my favorite girl's 43rd Birthday today by posting some pics...a few that she would NOT approve of God got us through yesterday, and I am so thankful that even after hard days, His mercies are new every morning! Miss her like crazy, but she's with her Savior, the greatest gift of all. Thank you for all the texts, calls, messages and hugs yesterday...I sit here this morning a truly blessed man! God even let me hear a few tunes this morning that reminded me of her even more. The boys and I shared some cool laughs, particularly when we heard Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa," which is what I'm known as around the Lear household. Also, while I'm sharing things that would be sure to embarrass her, I'll let you know that Annette's nickname was "Pretty Mama." Hoping to light some luminaries tonight in Annette's memory. Thanks for continued prayer!
