Happy Birthday Michael!

I wanted to post a tribute to Michael today in honor of his birthday. I have been thinking about it for several days, looking for historical photos to post, only to find that I have a ton of pictures of Michael's kids, but precious few of him in digital form and due to my current circumstance, my photos albums are in storage and I love you, Michael, but I am not about to dig them out today to find some to scan.

So, as I went through every folder on my computer, I came across the following photos, which brought back so many tender memories it brought tears to my eyes. And although these photos are not of Michael's birthday, without his birth, none of us would have the pleasure of Parker Aaron. And on this particular pictured birthday I watched my baby brother and his beloved wife become a family, which was one of the loveliest moments in my life. It made me think of the ripple effect we each have on the world around us and why I am so grateful Michael was born.

So thank you for choosing to be born into this family, my brother. And whether you believe you chose us or not, I do and my life would not be nearly as rich without you in it.



Happy Birthday, Michael! I love you.
