August 5th is the birthday of Michael Joseph Anthony Sullivan: husband of Joan Shepson Sullivan, who made up Joannie's Law of Longevity Anticipation of 2008; father of John and Katie; grandfather of Charlie, Mickey, Caroline, Grace and June; son of Big Sully and Mary Claire; brother of Jim, Mary Fran, John, Matt, Anne, Jerry, Margy and Patty; cousin, uncle and friend of everybody else. Mom always said Mike was her birthday present, as he arrived just a day after her birthday.
These days Mike continues to enjoy his retirement--spending lots of time with grandkids, creating a gorgeous garden and yard with Joan, and traveling (pre-Covid) with brothers to Civil War battlegrounds and the Finger Lakes, among other activities. As we speak, he's probably lounging on a huge floaty on Lake Michigan with Joan for a relaxing vacation.
Mike continues to bless us with his talents, including singing, making children laugh, making adults laugh and whistling--serious, false-vibratto whistling.
Happy Birthday, Mike and may you have 57 more healthy ones, by your wife's Law. God bless us and keep us and save us from harm.
Love,
Patty
