Well, I blew it. With everything going on around here, I lost track of the days. When I woke up this morning, Saturday, I realized today was Magda's B-Day. So what do I do now. What gift could possibly be enough given the current situation. What could bring even the slightest glimmer of a smile.
I've thought about this for about 4 hours now. ( Jacob was kind enough to want a bottle at 4am) Here is what I've come up with for Magda's gift idea......
I WANT TO GIVE HER 72 More March 3rd's. 72 More Birthdays, 72 More Celebrations with Nathaniel and Jacob.
I don't think I'm being greedy. That would make my angel 100 years old. She will surely have celebrated bar mitzvahs, weddings, grand and great grand kids, and all of life's other wonderful moments. She will have chased away countless women not good enough for her boys. She will certainly have straightened my sorry ass out by then... MAYBE... and most importantly, she will have made me the happiest man in the world.
So today, on Magda's birthday, I need your help to deliver her this special gift. There is one sure fire way to deliver her this gift. Continue to do exactly what you are all doing. Pray for Magda, send cards and letters, flowers and everything else you all are doing. Because I know one thing to be certain. The power of the love and prayer you have all mustered will surely bring Magda this precious gift.
Thanks

Kochana, madra, piekna Magdo. Zycze Tobie czego tylko sobie wymazysz, a przede wszytskim jak najszybszego staniecia na nogi.Wiem, ze jestes otoczona miloscia twojego meza i dzieci i to jest najwazniejsze.
Mysle o Tobie i zycze Ci wszytkiego co najlepsze z glebi mojego serca.

From the first time we met I knew that you would be the perfect match for our son. Your love for each other seems endless. Use this love to keep you both strong during this tough time. I'm confident that both of you will be sharing each others birthdays together for a 100 years. Love Dad
