Happy Birthday Marty

Family m

Back in November Chelsea, Baby Gabriel and I came to Willows to visit our family it was as it always is a wonderful time spent with everyone. We went out to lunch with my brother Marty and my sister in law Suzy. Marty loves children, you know how some people just have that special spark with children, well my brother Marty has that spark. 

Never did I think I would be coming back because my brother has cancer… I thought it might be to come to celebrate his 60th. And now here I am and to say Happy Birthday doesn't seem right. Yet it does. I can imagine every one of those 60 candles to be blown out would be for one wish:

To celebrate life for years and years to come.

And that is what we all wish for, pray for and hold up to celebrate life for years to come.

Healing now.

Unfortunately, we cannot celebrate with my brother with the coronavirus 19. It is a double-edged sword.

Courage Brother!

May your Birthday bring you everything you deserve, desire and a dose of happiness.

    Wonderful that you are still with your Willows Family…..Mother Nature and God create so many uninspected diversions for us to be together…who would guess that a Virus could actually be a part of something GOOD….SO GOOFY, yet so metaphysical. Sending you and your Family here and at home in France BIG HUGS !!!

    Please, extend our birthday wishes and prayers to your brother Marty. I imagine your hopes and prayers are off in many directions, aimed at the many people you love. Prayers for Marty and his family for the courage to face his cancer treatments, prayers for your family in France so that they will stay healthy, prayers for your wee grandson because he is a wee one! You are strong and God is good. We stand with you.

    My birthday wish for Marty is that he returns to good health. Medical science has made and continues to make great progress in the treatment and cure for many cancers. Wishing Marty all the best. No party this year but next year will be a double party. Here’s to Marty.
