March 6th is the 44th birthday of Michael Shajin Sullivan, son of Bob and Darlene; husband of Shelly; father of Jake, Seamus, Mia, Augustine, Sofia, Penelope and Maximilian; brother of John, Jim, Bobby, Paul, Tim, Sister John Mary, Margaret, Ella and Peter.
Mike has the truly special quality in him. He's the guy you want on your flank in the tight corners. As gentle and good-hearted a man as you could want, but along with that there is a toughness, way down in there, that everybody counts on. Uncle Bob once said that when he watched and saw how hard Mike tried, he wanted to try to live up to him.
Whether he's working as an experienced sales rep with Merck, or hauling his seven children throughout the southwest with Shelly at his side, Mike is always resourceful and joyful. It was quite hilarious watching him and his crew running and jumping on the beach at midnight as they hunted for grunion at Huntington Beach a few years ago.
Happy Birthday, Mike, and may you have 81 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love, Patty
