Marge, <BR><BR>You are the Greatest! <BR><BR>I know that many daughterinlaws
might not understand why I enjoy coming to Chicago and visiting with you. I
have never had any mother-in-law problems and just the opposite. You have
always been the spark who hosted everyone and made them feel welcome. I could
see gifts that I had given you decorating your apartment and clothes that I
had bought were being worn. You hem and sewed everyone's clothes and typed
over 100 words per minute without blinking an eye. We borrowed your car,
shared your frig and even use your tv and computer which are available to
residents so they can feel right at home too. Time and again you see the need
and do the deed. <BR><BR>When my children came to Green Rise (I want to say
Kemper) after living most of their life outside the USA, you were watchful,
but gave them the space to decide what they want to do and how they would go
about doing it in their college years. I remember asking about their grades.
You said, it is none of my business. If they want to tell me they will. They
can decide. They say people who are creative can say "Yes and....", or "What
if"...you were way ahead of the curve and I thought may be you created the
slogan "Yes we can", and not Obama! A couple of times when Larry was not with
me, I even shared a bed with you and this amazed my Chinese girlfriends to no
end! You and Phil actually came to Kenya to marry us ...but that is another
story...<BR> <BR>Our family's history is like building memories with
stories that become legend. Lela always liked chicken and heard your story
about learning to cook fried chicken for Sunday dinners and guess what... now
Lela fries her own chicken! We heard about your wheat bran and pineapple juice
reducing cholesterol and are still having it in the morning. ETF is just a
sample... all the tapping and all the DIY books are really about deciding to
care for yourself and take responsibility for your own health. Half the goal
of healing is believing you can be healed and can heal others. It is saying
the Divine has always been with us and always will be with us. Alpha and
Omega. God is Good, Life is Good. Amen...<BR><BR>You are a walking miracle
worker and such a gift to us all. Thank you for being you!<BR><BR>I am sorry
we will not join you and Conan for your birthday this year! We will be there
at Christmas instead! So everyone should raise their glasses and toast
to Marjorie Philbrook...she likes pineapple juice, eats turkey and salmon and
has watermelon instead of cake for her birthday! Go Girl!<BR><BR>You are the
Greatest!<BR>l<BR>Love, <BR><BR>Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook who has lived in
Taiwan over 22 years and never been to the Great Wall of China, so we
celebrate Marge's birthday by doing just that with my special partner, Larry
Philbrook, who has waited to all these years to see it.
