April 5th is the birthday of Erin Louise Coffey Sullivan, wife of Doctor Seamus the Younger; mother of John, Annie, Kathleen, Thomas, Peter, Maggie, Joseph, Brigid, Seamus and Patrick; sister of eight siblings, daughter, aunt, cousin, in-law and friend to hundreds more.
Erin's faith is strong and beautiful. Her sense of humor is wonderful. And her steadfastness as a wife, mother, sister and friend is quite admirable and appreciated by all. She has been a home-school teacher in Omaha for many years, and clearly succeeding--the older kids have begun attending and graduating college with many accolades and honors!
Now more than ever Erin's creativity, patience and resourcefulness, along with Jim's, is keeping things safe, secure and comfortable at home. The house must be a bit fuller with college campuses closed, and the challenge of keeping everyone at safe distances from the world must be a big one. Jim is a leading expert in biocontainment, so I imagine his work in the past few months has kept him away from home, if not actually quarantined away from Erin and kids.
So, we have yet another Covid-19 birthday 😔. Hopefully the mandatory togetherness will stave off the feeling of isolation for the clan and Erin will be celebrated by all!
Happy birthday, Erin, and may you have 76 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
