Thanks to everyone who came. Seems to me there were about 100 over the time of the party, but I'm open to other estimates because I was busy greeting and meeting.
Wonderful to see so many of Daddy's own friends from his work life, his social life and all of the groups he attends. Much appreciation to those who spread the word to those I didn't know.
Family drove and flew many miles to be here on a Tuesday, not the most accessible day of the week for many of you, but it was his actual birthday and I know that meant a lot! And thanks for the spouses and family members who couldn't come but sent cards, presents and other momentos. It was a real family reunion.
And special thanks to my own friends, from childhood, high school and now, who came to celebrate with me and speak to my dad just because. That was extra fun for me to have you there and make it a special party for me as well.
Finally, a great big thanks to my kids, their significant others, and the Manatee Unitarian Universalist volunteers who worked so hard in the background to do the work it takes to make a big event like this go off smooth as the two delicious cakes we had! You all are great and I have the best family ever!
You all are the best!
It was a very happy birthday, indeed.
