Dianne's 5th Christmas - 1975
Friends:
I received some terrible news today. My dad was in a bad fire. The accident happened in his nursing home. No one knows how he caught fire but it was 2:30am on February 1 when his roommate called for help. My dad’s bed was ablaze. Severe third degree burns cover 20% of his body and the doctors are trying to save his legs. He is in critical condition and is heavily sedated. He is in a burn center in Southern California (he lives in California and I am here in Louisiana) and is going into surgery tomorrow. I’ll know more after the surgery.
But there was also light in this shadow of a day. It was my brother, Gary’s birthday. He is 37 today.
2-1-10 Gary James, the Birthday Boy
We celebrated with his kids, Christian, Jourdan, Camrynn, Ashlynn and Jasmynn, my mom and stepdad, my husband, Antonio, and my 9 year old daughter, Eliana. We had dinner at Outback Steak House and it was fun. It was good to have some levity today.

Happy Birthday, Gary! I love you!
Until next time…
Warmly, Dianne
