Jim knelt on the wet grass as he held a bouquet of yellow and pink Gerber daisies and he felt Pam’s hand rest against his back. He took a deep breath in and opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out. After another several minutes he heard Pam’s voice take over.

“Hey honey,” her voice was soft and gentle. “Daddy and I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. We miss you more than we could ever say…”

“Tehya,” Jim’s voice offered huskily. “Happy birthday sweetheart. I wish you could be here. Your brother and sister miss you too.”

“You would love the new house,” Pam started again. “It’s been a crazy couple of years, but we’re getting better now. Much better. Carter and Lizzie helped plant flowers, daisies, in the front yard.”

“Your favorite. We wanted you to be with us, even though the house is in Philadelphia. We love you very much, Tey.”

“Very, very much. We’ll never forget you.”

“Don’t give the angels too much trouble up there, okay sweetie. No pranks…”

“Awh Jim,” Pam giggled. “You are taking away her fun.”

Jim only smiled as he wrapped his arms around Pam. “Thank you for bringing me here. I needed this.”

“It’s been a hard year, huh?”

Jim nodded, “but more than worth it. Thank you for not giving up on me.”

“Ditto,” Pam whispered and pressed her lips against his. “I love you Jim Halpert.”

“And I love you too, Pam. Forever.”
