Happy Birthday, Emma!

Dear Hearts,

August 24th is the birthday of Emma Jill Sullivan: daughter of Paul and Stephanie; sister of Hannah, Jack, Liam, Callum and Ewan Sullivan; granddaughter of Bob and Darlene and Jill and Robbie; cousin, niece and friend to many more.

Emma has just graduated high school at St. Mary's and though she would not tell you about the accolades she received, you can bet this young woman was duly recognized at the end of her senior year. Emma was also given the Magnanimity Award on Senior Night and earlier in the year she participated in a nationwide high school ethics competition sponsored by Clemson University. Along with her cousin DeeDee and two other classmates, the team took 2nd place in the competition against some of the brightest and most thoughtful students in the country. 

So, she has left her younger brothers and joins Hannah and Jack at the University of Dallas this month. It will be wonderful to see how this athletic, artistic, strong, brave and smart young world traveler grows in her education and faith.

Happy birthday, Emma, and may you have 106 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

Love, Patty
