Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Dear Hearts,

April 5th is the birthday of Daniel Sullivan Glick; son of Brian and Margaret; brother of Elizabeth, husband of Amanda; grandson of Dody and Mom (Daniel's names for Big Sully and Mary Claire) and Jack and Dawn; nephew, uncle, cousin, in-law and friend to scores of others.

He is a firefighter/paramedic and was just hired by L.A. County Fire from neighboring San Bernardino County. At this moment, Daniel and his fellow trainees (although he is a trained, licensed and practicing firefighter/paramedic, he must go through new training as he changes agencies) are quarantined in a hotel in Pomona as they continue their courses. The program, which is incredibly rigorous, has been condensed to six weeks due to the Covid-19 spread. He is allowed to come home on Saturdays for less than 24 hours before reporting back for duty.

The best part of his life these days is that Daniel and Amanda are expecting their first child in June and are happily preparing their beautiful mountain home for their new addition! And what a lucky baby--daddy will be able to teach him/her how to hike, work on cars, build things, create pottery, climb rocks, and be a kind person.
Teaching his nephew, Levi, to throw pottery.

Happy birthday, Dano, and may you have 92 more healthy ones, respectively, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love, Patty

outside of Daniel's station in Upland last October. You can see
