Gabriel:
In the 12 years that you have been with us, you have shown yourself to be sensitive, caring, obedient, desiring to please and honor your parents, the protector of your brothers and sister, a Christ follower, feeling called to the mission field, a joke-teller, Chinese food lover, responsible, honor roll student. We love you with all our hearts!!
G: growing like a weed
A: always trying to please
B: bony
R: roller coaster lover
I: imaginative
E: extra picky eater
L: loving
We couldn't imagine our family without you buddy! We are so proud of the young man you are growing up to be. We pray that you will continue to follow Jesus and that your heart will remain broken for those who don't know Him!

Happy Birthday Gabriel!!
Travis-Paige was looking at your blog with me and said, "I want to go to the beach, mommy! I want to play there." And she can hardly stand that I'm leaving a comment and she can't see the beach.
Happy Happy Birthday Gabriel! From the whole Hogan clan. We hope you had a wonderful day in the warm Florida sun!!!!! Loved the slideshow, too.
What a beautiful birthday tribute to the sweetest boy we know. Needless to say that the tears flowed while viewing the photos, (we remember them all with joy and smiles amid the tears). Then again, the tears came while reading the words. We are so very, very blessed to have you in our lives Gabriel and God's purpose for your life is revealed every day. You are loved so very much and we give thanks to God every day for you.
Much love and many hugs,
G. & P. P.
Wow, buddy, I can't believe it has been twelve years. The time has flown. I am sniffing after watching that slide show of pictures of you (when did your mother become so computer savvy??) and remembering. Nathan and Jonathan are watching with me and both commented that my favorite pic of you (the one of you sitting in your rocking chair with your coat all buttoned up) looks just like an expression you still wear. I agree. Next year...wow will we celebrate BIG!! I love you!
Just wanted to thank Gabriel for inviting me to his birthday dinner. I hope you had a great birthday......Harv
