Happy Birthday to the Amazing Woman that Gave Meaning to My Life

“A wife is the joy of a man’s heart—Talmud

That amazing woman is my wife Cecile. Our daughter Michelle and husband Kyle ordered middle eastern

cuisine from Dish Dash and the feast began. Emmy, currently 20 months old wanted Heritage Cereal Flakes. Her big sister

Lyla, followed suit: “I want cereal too.” But, after their chosen appetizer they also ate what the adults were having:).

The food from Dish Dash is phenomenal. It satisfies the palette and the stomach. Michelle brought a platter an assortment of desserts

that were heavenly. Ther girls were in heaven. A candle was placed into one of the desserts, we all sang the Happy Birthday song to Cecile and clinked glasses. Even our granddaughters enjoyed clinking the glasses of the rest of the family, not knowing that it is done during toasts,

because sound helps to please all the five senses, thereby completing the drinking experience. After dinner, Lyla took to opening the presents for her Nonnie with real gusto.

Cecile, I have a few things to say:

Once in a lifetime someone comes into your life that you really connect with,

Heart to heart and soul to soul.

A friendship kindles and love follows.

With every fiber of my being I know that you are my “once in a lifetime.”

Each time I think of you I realize how fortunate I am that we found each other.

Thank you so much for all your love, for all that you are,

And for being a part of my life each and every day.

You are the mother of my children, my truest and and greatest friend of all.

You mean so much to me, you’re beautiful inside and out.

You are my greatest support and biggest comfort.

And, what about those precious grandchildren:-)

Happy Birthday my love and enjoy the photos, the recorded memories of the past and present
