HAPPY Birthday Sharon Parish - 51 - Making Hurricanes in the Gulf

We love you.

Thanks to everyone for the cards and emails this week remembering Sharon's BD.

As I've said in the past, there is hardly a weekly that goes by that I don't receive an email or card from someone in the world that remembers what Sharon did for them.

I have a funny story for you. This morning Lily and I were wishing Sharon a Happy BD. Lily said she dreamed that she was talking with Mom. Sharon looked like one of those little holographic characters on the movie Star Wars.  As Lily stepped closer to the little holographic image, she put her hand out to touch Sharon, but of course her hand just went through the light. But then Lily felt herself getting sucked into one of the hurricanes Sharon was making, and she said, "Let go, Mom." Sharon let her go and then said she had to leave now because she has more hurricanes to make in the Gulf.

So Sharon is still very much a part of our life as we know it.

with gratitude,
Tom

Usually on this date, I would pick up the phone to call Sharon and in the most off-key version ever heard, proceed to sing "happy birthday to you..." while Sharon giggled on the other end of the phone. Ah... tradition. She did the same on my birthday.

So today, instead, I will open my eyes wider, breathe deeper, trust more, love gently. That is Sharon's gift to me.

Happy birthday to Sharon and happy celebration of Sharon to all who love her.

Love, Sue
