Birthday wishes are still arriving to help Richard celebrate his 80th birthday. Weeks ago, I alerted family and friends that this year would be a special milestone and asked for help in celebrating. While I did not host a party (as per his request) I did want to fill the mailbox. On those days when, despite his Parkinson’s Disease, he had the stamina to walk down the block to get the mail, he found surprises. And, even if he was not up to venturing out, I carried those birthday greetings home to him. Since his birthday is a Federal holiday (lucky guy) the birthday greetings are still arriving.
Happy 80th Birthday!
