Happy Birthday, to my brother, David. He is 76 today and survived Vietnam, and 9 years ago a rare cancer that the doctors knew nothing about, and he was give the news he would most likely not survive it. 9 years later he is still alive and well and has been in remission for those 9 years.
in these last 9 years, he has seen his grandson go off to college last year, his granddaughter in her Senior year of High School this past week.
We were and are total opposites. Only two of us, and he was/is The Good Child, can you guess who The Bad Child was?
I told a few good stories about him last year on a prior post HERE.

Happy birthday David! So glad he got through such an awful diagnosis. You made me smile. I don’t know who the bad one was and can’t imagine it was you, says I with a smile.
That’s a great photo!

Makes me wonder if he was diagnosed properly...but so glad he's still here!

Happy Birthday to David! I am sure you were not that bad, just being a child. Take care, have a wonderful day!
Happy birthday, David. Great name you have!
Happy Birthday David! I've read where a lot of the Viet Nam Vets developed odd cancers and an unusual type of diabetes from exposure to the Agent Orange. My husband's BIL developed the Diabetes from handling the aircraft that were exposed to Agent Orange. I'm glad David has proven the "experts" wrong and survived. 💙

Bad or mischievous? Happy Birthday, David!
Remember that the first child is always the parents' guinea pig... By the second one, they have learned a thing or two! ;-)

Happy 76th Birthday to David! I am so thankful that he survived the war and the cancer. Those are definitely blessings with his grandchildren. I don't remember that post but I did post on it. It is funny about the reason you couldn't get better gas mileage.
Happy birthday to David - we hope his health continues for many years to come.
