Happy birthday, Alison!

Alison and Kirk are in Aptos to spend the day. Her wish was to have a relaxing day, including going to see daughter Dani perform (it makes her very happy), which will be this afternoon down in Seaside at an outdoor event there. Other big plans are shaping up to include reading, maybe playing a board game or two, and likely a nap! (She has been more tired in the past couple of days after the port placement, needing extra recovery time, it seems.)

I hope you will all join me in wishing Alison a happy, wonderful birthday! She has a way of touching lives that is a testimonial to her loving and giving nature. She is dear to us in such a profound way and is lucky enough to have a support network as wide and wonderful as you all. Thank you all for all your support these last 8 months.
