My nephew is so cute. Zachary George Gamo Gray. Yesterday was his 13th birthday. Wow. I can't believe he's 13. He's growing up so fast. He's a teenager. Whoa. He's taller than me and now wears a size 9½ shoe. Over the last few weeks we kept asking him what he wanted for his birthday and all he kept replying with was a table full of food. Now...he had a specific list for this table full of food, but still...that's all he wanted. Food! The kid never gets full. He can eat and eat and eat and he just won't be stuffed. Then, just last week, he changed his mind. He told my sister that he wanted to go to a steak house and then come home to a table full of food. Aha! So that's what she planned for. They would go somewhere like The Chart House, eat, then come home and eat more. Sounded good. Then the night before his birthday she asked him one more time..."What do you want for your birthday?" And he says, "I want a family dinner." Aaaw! That's sooo sweet! But...does he know us? We don't ever eat together. Not even when we all live under the same roof! I mean, I guess that's why he would ask for such a thing. Man...that kid...he is something else...he's a gem in this bag-of-rocks family of ours. He's such a great kid. I love him to death. So there we sat last night...my sister's mom, my other sister's dad, my other other sister, her boyfriend, my niece, me and my nephew Zach...and we ate...pizza, tacos, macaroni and cheese, ramen, chicken nuggets...we wouldn't do it for anybody else or in any other way. Happy Birthday Zach.
