Brother Phil's 60th Surprise Birthday!

Photo
This is my Bro who I watched grow up from high chair to baseball field to his Chiropractic graduation. He married, had a beautiful child and went through the trials of life, loving and losing loved ones and things dear to his heart. Now at age 60 he is renewing his life, fit as a fiddle and concentrating on all the parts meaningful and fulfilling. There is a new woman in his life and a grown up (21 years) daughter, and including in his circle among his brothers and sisters, nephews, nieces and in-laws, is another family that adores him. So it is fitting and proper to surprise our Phil on his special day -- in a back room of a Mexican restaurant on Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Daughter, Happy Dad.

Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many.

Getting older as many advantages. I'm still as imperfect as ever, but I no longer care.
