Happy Birthday Keith!!






Happy Birthday Keith!!!! I have already read your Mom's and Sister's greetings so I know where you will be celebrating your birthday. I hope you will have a wonderful trip and visit in Dallas.


I agree with your Mom's comment, that you are a wonderful son and a fine young man. Your middle name used to be "trouble" but that doesn't seem fitting any more. And actually, you were never a lot of trouble---just a wee bit strong willed, perhaps, but having a mind of your own is not a bad thing. I remember the week-ends when you and your family would come to visit us in AR. One visit when you were 3 or 4 and everyone had slept late on Sat. morning, I thought we would eat cereal then have a nice noon meal. I set out several boxes of cereal, you climbed up at the end of the bar, your dad asked you what kind you wanted. You said, "I waitin' for bikits!!". Well, guess what------we all had biscuits!!!


It is no wonder that you are addicted to Football. The same day you came home from the Hospital, your Dad made sure that you were properly introduced to the game so he held you in front of the TV as he and your uncle Roger watched the game and explained it to you!!!!


We are thankful for you, Keith and appreciate the fine person you are. We will miss you on Thanksgiving.

We love you,
Grandmother and Granddad Holland

"I waitin' for bikits!" How funny! I didn't know that story, but that's just too cute.

I remember Keith at about that age too. Instead of calling him a "Hurricane" Grandmother called him a "HIMicane". I always thought that was so cute! Happy Late Birthday Keith! And Happy Early Birthday to Kim. I miss you guys!
