Happy Birthday, Mike!

Dear Hearts,

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.

Mike continues to learn about gardening and create beautiful things in his backyard. He's a voracious reader but will drop his book immediately if a grandchild or two ( or three, or four or five) comes around. The whole clan recently enjoyed their annual tradition of spending a week on Lake Michigan--swimming, playing, singing and simply spending time together.

When Mike is around, you are sure to feel loved, listen to music, laugh a lot, watch and listen to some world-class whistling and be entertained by his goofiness and hilarity.

Happy Birthday, Mike and may you have 54 more healthy ones, by your wife's Law. God bless us and keep us and save us from harm.

Love,
Patty
