Dear Hearts,
July 10th is the birthday of Alan Paul Stachura: son of Edward and Phyllis; partner of Jim Royall; uncle, cousin and friend to many, many more. Back in the day, we all called him Stach, and today we call him Alan.
Alan became an honorary member of our family back in the 1960s when he became my Godfather. He was a young man and clearly grabbed my mom and dad's hearts with his goodness. As long as we were in touch, Alan faithfully celebrated my birthday, one year delivering a giant hand-made card of poster board and colorful art. That memory is strong in my mind--the sheer joy of receiving such a fun and exciting gift!
Since reconnecting with Alan a few years ago, I have been so charmed with his positive outlook and constant kindness. Indeed, he is always on the sunny side of life! Today, Alan and Jim live in beautiful Oak Harbor, Washington and are fully enjoying retirement after careers in real estate finance.
Happy Birthday, Alan, and may you have 51 more healthy ones, by Joannie Sullivan's Law of Longevity Anticipation of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love, Patty
