To Marc…

Written by Amy
Nov 28, 2012

Honestly guys sometimes my posts are just for posterity…this one is for my brother Marc!  Marc’s birthday, November 27th.

(Mom, Renee, Rob, Fr. John, Marc, Amelia and me)

This year the food, the wine, the toasts, the conversation were all a lot more savory, full, meaningful and rich; our love for each other was palpable!  Back in September Marc had some random but very serious health issues…we were all very thankful to celebrate another year and are especially grateful for the reminder of the many joys, hardships and impermanence of life!  I’ve said this a thousand times since that moment in September – “it was just a minute ago that I was riding my bike in the alley with my brothers and drinking coffee (with condensed milk) and as a kid thinking those moments were the best, EVER”!  I suppose it’s really no surprise I’m still riding my bike and now making coffee for a living.  Ti’ amo, Marco and I hope you have a gazillion more nights like tonight!

Happy Birthday Marc! I hope you are feeling as good as you look. (Even in this fuzzy photo.) All the best to your family, Amy.

Hi! Amy, I'm glad your brother, Marc, is feeling better. A coincidence, my birthday was November 25th!...turned 65! - a turning point for sure! The problem is that I don't often read these posts, so I wonder if you could remove me from your mailing list. Amy, you and your staff have done a great job! I don't get to Highland Park as often as I use to so I don't get a chance to come into the cafe. Your barristers are the BEST barr none. It does get a bit too noisy in the cafe for me sometimes...Best of luck! Gail
