Happy birthday, Marie

The lakes, birds, and flowers here in New Jersey's forest would be enjoyable for you, I think, and you surely would have a glorious time with your grandchildren adding more rock sculptures to the unusual collections around Sunfish Pond. 

The backpacking? Less so, possibly, but you would endure it out of love and determination. These days, I would try harder to see the difference between what you chose to enjoy with me and what you actually like to do.

Still missing you, expect I always will.
