July 8th is the birthday of Stephanie Falconer Sullivan: daughter of Robert and Jill Falconer; wife of Paul; mother of Hannah, Jack, Emma, Liam, Callum and Ewan; cousin, aunt, niece and friend to many more lucky folks. Stephanie hails from Thurso, Highland, the most northerly town on the British mainland and a beautiful place.
At their wedding, Paul and Stephanie gave their guests necklaces made of Groatie Buckies, beautiful little seashells found on the beaches of Thurso. The shells bring good luck to those who possess them. I still have mine.
Stephanie was employed at Merck when she and Paul married. Once her first baby came along, she devoted herself to caring for their six children and keeping their home, school, sporting and social lives a top priority. In this vocation, Stephanie has shown herself to be a loving, faithful, hard-working, creative and hilarious woman who is wise beyond her years. Steph seems to have sorted out what it truly important and what's not in the day-to-day life of a wife and mom.
She is a talented horsewoman, enjoying excursions on her horse, Joker. We all benefit from Stephanie's terrific talent as a photographer, as well as her written stories of her life as a wife and mom of six very active, talented and busy kids.
Happy Birthday, Stephanie, 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
