Happy Birthday to my Grandson - Nicky Hepp

By
Real Estate Agent with Desert Gold Realty - Mesquite NV Homes For Sale DRE# S.0072173

Today is my grandson's birthday, Nicky is 10 years old.  I didn't get to spend it with him because the family moved to Mississippi.  My son-in-law, Dave is a Seabee stationed in Gulfport and getting ready to go to Afghanistan.  Mississippi is a little too far from Mesquite for quick trips, so I missed out on Nicky's birthday.

I did send him a Walmart gift card for $100 and he had his eye on a new bike for $78 to replace the one that got run over by his aunt.  He has been looking at that new bike for awhile.  When my daughter and family took Nicky to Walmart today to get his new bike - he changed his mind.

Nicky did the math and decided to get a $50 bike for himself and spend the other $50 on a bike for his little sister, Erica.  That way she could have a new bike for his birthday, too.  What a kid - I am pretty proud of him!

This is a picture of Nicky on his old bike - Happy Birthday, Nicky!

Hi Terry, My son-in-law is in NMCB-74 also.  My other son-in-law is in the army, also heading for Afghanistan soon.  And my husband is a Vietnam Vet, 101st Airborne - he was over there at the same time you were.  I just sent him a link to your website and my daughter in Mississippi sent it to her entire email address book, lot of Seabees in there.

Thank you for your service to our country!

 

JL - He always looks out for his little sister - hope it stays that way.

Virginia, what a generous heart Nicky has!  It's a good thing he wasn't ON his bike when his aunt ran over it... But on the other hand, most likely he left it in a spot he wasn't supposed to (knowing kids!).

That's a pretty special fellow to buy a bike for his sister on his birthday.  Looks like his mom and dad are raising a keeper.

I'm a little late, so Happy Belated Birthday to Nicky. From what I can tell, it looks like he is ready to rock, roll, and rule!

Virginia I just came across this blog when I searched grandson's birthdays. Therefore here is a late Happy Birthday to your grandson, Nicky. What a handsome young man and so caring to share the money you sent to spend half for his sister.  Grandchildren are precious. Unfortunately I live 19 driving hours away from my 3 and 5 years grandsons. How I miss not being there for their special events.

Thank you, Kathleen.   I have to go to Mississippi to see my grandkids, and 2 of my kids.  It just kills me to be so far away.
