    Happy Birthday you old stud!
    You look like you were born to ride.
    The ultimate kick-ass hog rider with suspenders.
    Hope you are enjoying your birthday!

    You too, Mel.

    Here's a little blessing I learned a long time ago that I'd like to pass along if I may:
    “May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.”

    Happy birthday Poppa Sye! Don't let Meleah eat all the cake 🙂

    OK, that is the COOLEST picture I have EVER seen. I called my grandfather Papa, and he and my grandmother would sneak off as teens and ride his motorcycle… VERY shocking in those days… so this wonderful picture game me lots of smiles!

    I am choosing to ignore your caption and just pretend that the motorcycle is Poppa Sye's birthday present.

    Rock on, Poppa Sye! (And happy birthday!)

    Oh, see! I was so excited when I came here on Wednesday and saw the bottom of your post say, 0 comments. I was going to be the first! WooHoo! But lo and behold it's because no one could comment. So now here I am the eighth commentor!

    Oh well.

    Happy Birthday Poppa Sye!!! I can't imagine what you have seen in 90 years here on this planet. What a ride it must be.

    Mel? I really, really, really, really hope you're feeling better. It makes my heart break for you to see all the trials and tribulations you're having to face. As always, I send good thoughts and energy your way. Do you feel it? It should be knocking you on your ass right about now.

    Hugs and high fives, (that's stoopit!)
    Gina 😉

    Poppa Sye is a doll and too cool for high school. I too wish him a very happy 90th God Bless Him. Great smile too 🙂

    Thank you so much Ronnie C! Actually Poppa Sye does NOT ride a motorcycle. It's our next door neighbors. My father thought it would be funny to get a picture of Grampa on the motorcycle last summer. And I just love how he's smiling in this shot. xoxoox

    Yeah, I had comment issues for a few days. Thankfully that's been resolved.

    I do feel all of your love and support Gina. Honestly, its part of the reason I can get out of bed in the morning and face another day!

    Thank you for the birthday wishes for Poppa Sye!

    Well, I hope the comments are working but even if they are not, my best wishes for your Poppa Sye will still be coming through! I'm glad I didn't see this picture sooner or I'd have had to hunt this cutie down and I'd be your grandma!!!!! LOL! I do hope he is not in pain and I pray that God will bless him with the dignity, respect, and obvious love that he has been blessed with throughout his life. Big hugs to you, Meleah!

    Well, he's not really still on the go. That photo was from last summer. In fact, Poppa Sye does NOT even ride a motorcycle. It's our next door neighbors. My father just thought it would be funny to get a picture. And it is. I just love how he's smiling in this shot!
