...and he is doing an amazing thing for her. Surely he will get some tonight. And all of us can learn something, too. Not from the nookie...I mean form the... never mind. Just read, and click if you can. Or post, or Tweet or share. Here's Kevin's post from this morning. Go to his blog today and be educated and generous.
My Love:
Most years you ask me not to buy you anything for your birthday. This year, I listened.
However, I couldn't let this one pass quietly.
Seven years ago today, we got the news that our sweet little girl had juvenile dermatomyositis, a strange disease neither of us had ever heard of then and most people still haven't heard of today. It was an odd birthday gift for you, but a gift nonetheless. Although we quickly learned that it had no cure, we welcomed the fact we finally knew what was making her so ill and that there were ways it could be treated.
Since then, you have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of all the juvenile myositis diseases and raise funds to find a cure for them. I marvel at (and am jealous of) how dedicated you are and how good you are it.
However, this is your birthday. You deserve a day off.
So, for your gift, a bunch of my blogmates volunteered to spread the word for you on this day. Each has posted a piece about our struggle with getting Thing 1 diagnosed in hope of raising awareness of this rare autoimmune disease and the need to find a cure for it.
If we're lucky, we'll even raise a few dollars for the cause.
Happy birthday, My Love, and Happy Cure JM Awareness Day. I love you.
What an awesome gift, dude. Hope you raise a million bucks today.
