75th Birthday Alert!
· posted by Martha Stout
Jan’s 75th birthday is today—Tuesday, June 2nd—her first birthday without Jud since they were barely into their twenties. After a loss, all these firsts—holidays, anniversaries, birthdays—can pile up and be hard to get through, as some of you know all too well.
I know she’d be touched and surprised to find birthday wishes from you who have been following her here these past nine months. You have no idea how much your support means to her. So be serious or silly or something in between, but please take this opportunity to send birthday greetings.
