In just one week, this precious boy turns 47…
On that same day, these two youngsters mark 23 years of marriage…
To say that we are blessed is such an understatement, it’s truly laughable; we have more than we could ever want nor ever need!!
So what do you get a guy who has it all…perfect wife (Don’t tell him I said that!), utterly amazing kids, the most fun career, and a wealth of totally incredible friends and family??
Clothes and shoes come with the job. Electronics and toys aren’t really his thing. Gadgets and gizmos? Those are definitely out!
In the end, there is only way I can think of to celebrate his very special day:
An end to Alzheimer’s.
If I could give him that today, I would in a heartbeat. I can hardly imagine his joy to hear Nana say his name just one more time.
Sadly, I can’t even guarantee him that gift next Friday.
But I – no, WE – can make strides and take steps towards him receiving that unbelievable gift in the future.
So, for Coach’s birthday – and our anniversary – I’m honoring him with a donation to his #Walk2ENDALZ participant page:

“Birthday-fundraising-in-lieu-of-gifts-and-cards” is all the rage these days, so
I have also set up a link on Facebook in hopes that if you’d like to honor Philip in some small way, you will join me:
Your love and generosity will be on his mind when he blows out the candles on December 21st, and your support will make for one “helluva” great wish come true!
Thanks for celebrating with us!!
Love and hugs,
Ashli
