Happy Birthday Matt

Today I raise my Coke to Matt Parker.  My awesome nephew is celebrating his birthday.  It is his first birthday as a married man.

Last October, I had the pleasure and honor of being his best man at his wedding to Erin.  It was one of the proudest moments of my life.  As expected, I did toast the newlyweds with a real can of Coke (thank you Nancy and Laura for sneaking it in).

Matt and I have had many fun adventures (with many more to come), but that was his time to officially start his adventure with Erin.  It was a day filled with laughs and tears (okay, I did cry a bit).

I know Erin will make this day special for Matt.  I will not be with Matt today, but I am sending my greetings and love from here.

Happy birthday Matt.  I love you and this Coke is for you.

Erin and Matt Parker and me in Lemont, IL-October 2016.
