Dear Buddy –

I feel so grateful for you, especially today.  That you were excited for my surgery to be on your birthday, saying that “It will be a birthday for both of us.”  That you are soooo good to me.  That you fill our house with love.  That you are a wonderful provider of all that is smart, generous, funny, handsome, ticklish, and everything else that this girl could ask for.  Happy Birthday!

I love you –

CoCo

    Jessica, it’s funny you said that. Around Colleen’s birthday (6/11) I said something along those very same lines about her real birthday after her surgery. Crossing my fingers for some peaceful months ahead for her!

    Colleen, I love your blog – you write so well, and in several ways you remind me of my own sweet wife (sitting here next to me reading your blog too!). Our thoughts are with you today and I hope you’ll be back up and around very soon, pain-free!
    Happy Birthday to Greg too!

    Colleen, you’ve got a great husband and partner there! You two make such a sweet couple – way more than the sum of the parts. Give Greg a happy birthday hug! And, tell him happy birthday from an old pal at Mentor.

    –Bruce.
