Yesterday was my 60th Birthday. The day opened with a phone call from a friend who is Danish; she sang a Danish happy birthday song to me in Danish which was lovely. She then told me that they call decade-entry birthdays “round” birthdays, which I like because one can think of it as not being the actual number.
On my last round birthday, I met Paul. On this round birthday, we had our first visit from Hospice and completed all the intake procedures. This is the roundest decade of my life, from bliss to utter devastation.
I really can’t say more at this moment but thought I should at least inform you of this milestone.
Please pray for Paul’s comfort and my strength; at least I know you all know what I mean.
You are a disruptor. The delivery of health care starts with you, continues because of you, and ends with you. Let's disrupt together to make the world better for family caregivers.

Will indeed pray for your strength and Paul’s comfort… and visa versa too!
A belated happy birthday too.

Jennifer, you and Paul have been in my thoughts (and Cameron, too – every time I go to the Met in HD, I picture him on the stage)and I will continue to pray for you all.

Not only will I be praying for Paul’s comfort and peace, but for yours Jennifer. Praying for a calm that envelopes you reminding you that you are loved.
Do all you can to enjoy your round days holding each other close in the warmth and comfort of your love for each other
