This is our journey with our daughter Shannon through treatment for, and ultimately death from, a brainstem glioma tumor. We continue to write about our lives after Shannon's passing as we try to carry on her spirit. We are writing from the heart - parental discretion advised.
Happy 50th Birthday, DanO!
This guy is 50 today. That's a milestone, for sure, but he's taking it in stride...
The good news is, he's a better man at 50 than he was at 40 or 30. I know, because I was there for those milestones, too. He continues to grow and change and evolve.
I couldn't imagine this is where we'd be when he turned 50. A lot has happened to us in the past 10 years, but here we are, doing the best we can, and still happy together. I loved him at all those milestones, and I still do. I'm grateful that he's my guy.
We'll be together today, just the three of us. Making brunch at home, shopping for a new golf bag, and having a nice dinner out tonight. No raucous party, which is just fine with him. His two main gals will let him know how much he is loved.
Happy birthday sweetie.
