Dear Brian and Jeanette, et al.,

Which birthday, Brian?  Which anniversary, Jeanette?

I seem to recollect that many a year we were hot and heavy into summer research programs and your Fourth of July birthday and anniversary got overlooked or extended your capacities for delayed gratification with celebration much after the fact.

I decided to send this to the whole dialogue so that any and all who have always marked this day as simply the birthday of the United States could join me in awareness of this as Brian's own personal particular day and your anniversary as well.  I have rather always wondered how this really works, Jeanette, to have your husband's birthday and your anniversary the same day.  Does it mean you get to horn in on his perks or that you celebrate doubly to safeguard the significance of both?  I hope the latter.

You are still both in my prayers and at times as the energy travels your way I feel the confluence with others thinking of you, praying for the journey and if I recognize them, they are always from this list.  That may indicate that in addition to wanting to delight in your answers to the standard birthday questions, any update you have to share would be welcome.

Blessings on you both and on your special day,
Margaret
