Happy Birthday to John Henry. A teenager. Wow. I've seen some of your pictures with him and he looks big. I have seen a Youtube video of your appearance on David Letterman and he is doing a back and forth with you about your new child. "a boy" he asks and how you are just beaming in that moment. What a thing. Love you and John Henry and all. 13 wow

Totally agree about Nashville, Allison. We SHOULD be doing better than that. But when you have more guns than people, and half the government doesn’t want to do anything about that, all you do is cry. And when you’re done crying, RAGE.

Hi Allison

Love the song Wish for You

Listened to it on utube

I think that’s JH in the beginning of the song? Sweet. Hope he has an awesome birthday filled with all the things that bring him joy. 🎂

My humble poem will never equal your brilliant words, dear Allison:

"Won't you send down an angel

From the blue

To show me the righteous

Thing to do

Oh, I'm calling out to you

Send down an angel

To get me through."

However, may I say I agree that Angels do visit us and often give us the tools we may use to save ourselves from ourselves.

"Angels seem to be there to help me

every time I need them.

And the most wonderful gift,

about their visits is,

I don't even have to ask for their help.

Even when I believe I am "alone,"

I'm not.

God is Good,

and many of His wonderful creations

do Him proud.

Thank you Angels,

for looking after me." _ MRVERITAS.SUBSTACK.COM

Happy Birthday, John Henry, special child of God.

I can't believe that's the same beautiful little boy I met so long ago.

Still beautiful in every way.

Yes, Alex WAS right!

Happy 13th Birthday JH! (And to you as well, Mama. It's your day, too!)

"May all your dreams come true!"
