Happy Birthday, Nomi! Just keep adding those special days up, more valuable than a winning lottery ticket. And thank you, Debbi, for keeping us up on what we'd otherwise be missing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank God I was able to hold on to my six stars so that I could award this excellent tribute with stars, in my humble opinion, it deserves.
You have become so good at this, if anyone ever disagrees, just have them come and talk to me. I can promise you that I will set them straight, right away! Thank you so much for such a heart warming, smile inducing tribute.
I love you to the moon and back. No one could have a better and more loved little sister than I.

    Awe, Happy Birthday my dear BBBBBBB!!! I suppose you are wondering about the extra Bs this time. So here goes,
    its Best, Brave, Beautiful, Big Brother, Birthday Boy. ....... LOL

    And I did have a newbie who gave me a three star which erased both of my sixes so far. She said she didn't get the structure that I was using. The same structure that has taken me a year to perfect for biographical poems, with getting a story with all the syllables in just the right place and keep it in meter, end each line with a rhyme and have it make sense to tell a story. But she didn't get it.

    I knew you would run across it so I thought I would warn you. It does kinda hurt when you work for so long on these things. And this one I truly wanted to be special. So I guess it is your opinion that means the most to me. You and everyone else loves it.

    That means a lot to me, but what really means the most to me is that you have the best birthday yet with your wonderful family. I am truly proud to call myself your lil sister. Thank you, my dear friend and bro!! Lotsa love, Debi

    I am sure you have heard it before, "There is one in every crowd. They are the ones who bring an umbrella to a sunny day, they wear a bathing suit on a rainy day. Debbie Downer, you name it. They just refuse to get with the program. Forget her, she does not matter. I love my poem, I love the author of the poem. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Debi, any poem about Nomi is going to be a good poem because it is about a good man. Both his writing and reviewing come from a long life of experiences that molded him into a man to be admired. Your poem did add some information I did not know. Happy Birthday, Nomi! Well done. Terry.

In my limited interaction with Nomi (now I know it Nolan) through readings and reviews, I think we've both gained respect for each other. His poems are always direct and tells it "like it is", which I admire.

I always look forward to his reviews on my gibberish, as he is thoughtful and respectful.

I wish him the happiest of birthdays, and as usual, you did him a solid! I think kids say it that way if I'm not mistaken.

Great birthday post...
Enjoy your day, sis.
John

Nomi is a fine man, who is always gracious and Christlike in all I have seen of his writings. How wonderful that he raised his daughter's children after her death, at a time when is own grief must have been enormous and ongoing. Thank you for paying tribute to him.

There are so many people on here who really have had hard, but satisying lives. To lose your child has to be the worst nightmare any parent could face. But Nolan carried on and became father and grandfather at the same time to her children. He is such a nice man and so kind. I enjoy his work a lot. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOLAN! Well done, Debi. :)) Sandra xxx

I'm not sure if there are structure criteria. Regardless, well done with rhyming. I can feel the emotion by how and what you expressed. Your adoration is very evident.
