Why all the fuss?

As unlikely as it may seem, Eileen will soon turn 50, beating many of us to the half century mark. The dread of the approaching birthday has been the subject of conversation for some time. Now that it is here, she still looks great and despite the normal wear and tear, such as eyesight, she remains remarkably intact.

To make this a memorable time, I am asking her many friends and family to post comments about her life and friendship and of course to encourage her into the next 50.

So, please log in, (sorry it requires a user name and password), and leave her with what ever comments you care to share, or email comments to: mappleget.eileenis50@blogger.com. Automatically your email will be published to this site along with any attachments such as pictures.

Thanks, Mark

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EILEEN

Dear Eileen,
First of all, since I know you pretty well, I can guess that you are dreading the BIG 5-0. Let me tell you, as one of your much "older" sisters, that 50 is not that bad. I know you will knock people's socks off when you tell them that you are 50. How can someone that looks as good as you be 50? You truly are a beautiful person, inside and out. I am so proud to have you as my sister. I know without hesitation that if I called you and needed something you would do anything in your power to help. I have always admired your energy and ability to set a goal for yourself, then follow through with it, and do a darn good job along the way. I wish I had your motivation. Michael and I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday and let you know how much we love you. Remember 50 is the new 40, especially in your case, so don't worry, just sit back and enjoy your life. Life is so precious and we have to appreciate every day, even if it does bring a wrinkle or two. We earn those wrinkles, they are love lines! And I know you are truly loved by all who know you. All our love, Jeanine and Michael
