Happy Birthday Ford , thank you for changing my diapers!
Dad appreciates all the birthday wishes. He got phone calls from a few Canadian relatives, and that made him happy. He is in a physical rehab facility after a long stint in the hospital. His health is not great, but I sware he will out live us all just like his mom:)

Happy birthday #1
Sorry to hear he has been so sick. Can you tell us more about his health situation.
Best wishes # 35
Well, he has been battling Crohns disease since he was a teen. It still gives him trouble. He gets blockages in what's left of his intestines, so he almost gets malnourished. The rehab is trying to "fatten" him up, and get his physical strength back. His phone # is 410-267-8653, just ask for Edward Gallagher's room. Thanks:) He would love to hear from his cousins.

I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
