Happy 55th Birthday! It seems like just yesterday that you and Stu gave me my first job (bringing in your trash cans for $1 per week), bought me my very own robe to keep at your house so that I could be comfortable when I visited and shared with me the wonders of MJ’s “Thriller” (which I watched, literally, hundreds of times while nestled up in your water bed)–and now I have a family of my own.
Today we live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of young families—one which reminds me very much of the environment we were all so fortunate to be a part of on Teesdale. Oftentimes, when I interact and play with the kids in our neighborhood, I think to myself “Oh my gosh, I am now Wendy and Stu—I am the ADULT that they look up to and run across the street to hang out with.” I can only hope to be the same kind of genuinely-interested, loving and thoughtful role model that you were to me as a child, and continue to be to me to this day.
Thank you for being you—an amazing friend (in particular, to my mom), mother (not only to your own two wonderful children, but to me, as well) and host. We love you and look forward to sharing many more memorable moments together.
All our love…
The Londons
