Birthday Wish for Michael



My poor grandpa could not make it to my big party but sent me my first poem. The best birthday present!
Thank you grandpa, don't worry we will have many more to celebrate.

Get Better!

A special birthday wish for Michael

And God said:
"Michael you have to go down to earth to teach."
And Michael came,
And Michael taught:
* A doctor how to cut the umbilical cord
* Two wonderful people how to be fabulous parents
* Doctors and nurses that he was ‘Miracle Michael’
* All of us the true joy of LIFE - without saying a word
* How to smile through your tears
* How Love is alive and truly universal- just check Michael's blog
* And how to pray, and pray, and pray.
You teach us something new every day Michael, and we thank you for it.

Have a very Happy Birthday.

I Love you and Miss you,
Grandpa Connolly


This was a poem my great grandpa Connolly wrote to my Great Grammie for mother's day.

My grandpa sure takes after his dad .

Love mick

WE LOVE YOU, MOTHER DEAR

Ofter, at the end of day
Dismayed by daily strife,
We think of you, dear mother
And virtues of your life.
Devoted, kindly, loving,
Tending to our every care.
Always giving, never asking
We love you so, Mother Dear.
Dad
