July 6th is the birthday of Luke Sullivan Merwin: son of Mary Fran and Gary; brother of Joe, Kate and Maggie; uncle of Elianah, Ava, Henry, Francesca and Inez; nephew, cousin and friend to scores more folks. I am amazed at how much he looks like his mom these days!
Luke is unfailingly cheerful in all weathers, and loyal as the day is long. He has tackled some terrific challenges and met them with strength, intelligence and grace, whether it was boot camp as a Marine Reserve, working in a high-end restaurant, overseeing a territory for liquor distributor, or managing a staff at a non-profit organization. It seems as though laughter, song and thoughtful conversations are often left in his wake.
His nieces and nephew are so lucky to have Uncle Luke, as he is sure to make their lives more colorful, robust, hilarious and wonderful.
Happy Birthday, Luke, and may you have 84 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
