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.

Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. 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!) :( ...
