Happy Birthday Trica!

 Our oldest daughter Trica is 51 years old today.  

Recently I ran across this photo from the summer of 1972. Much happier times.


The babies were born in the Spring.  Far Guy's Paternal Grandmother Tracie is holding our daughter Trica, my sister Julie is holding Kathy. Kathy is a Granddaughter of Tracies.  Trica and Kathy had matching dresses.  I believe the photo was taken at the summer cottage on Straight Lake that belonged to Kathy's parents Archie and Liz.

Our oldest daughter Trica is not in good health.  She has been in and out of the hospital most of the winter with ovarian cysts, bowel blockages, dehydration, kidney stones and kidney/liver issues. 

 If I could wish or pray her healthy and happy I would. 

Today I can only wish her a happy birthday!

I'm sorry to read that Trica is not doing well and in and out of hospital. Sending well wishes and big huggs.

Praying a happy birthday that gives her encouragement towards better health. As we get older - - and we know 51 is still fairly young - - - we recognize that good health is one of the best gifts of all. I will pray for her.

Happy birthday, Trica!

Sorry Trica is dealing with so many health issues. Hope she gets better soon - or as near as is possible, at least.

Wow, poor Tricia. She’s too young for all that. I hope she has a happy birthday anyway and a much better and healthier year ahead.

I hope Tricia can enjoy her birthday. Chronic illness is very hard to live with.

Living with chronic illnesses is difficult especially when it is painful - I Have to imagine it is. I can only wish Tricia a better year ahead and healing for her medical issues.

Oh Connie, I am so sorry to hear about your daughter Trica. I will add my prayers to yours for her. We have just found out in the past two weeks, that our son-in-law has Leukemia. He and our daughter have 2 kids graduating in May from High School and College. Will keep everyone in my prayers. God bless them all.

Far Guy's grandmother could be my grandmothers sister, they look so much alike.
Happy Birthday to Tricia. I'm so sorry to hear that she's been struggling with her health this past winter. I will definitely be in prayer for her and you too.
Blessings and love,
Betsy
