Happy 100! Birthday Wayne
On Tuesday, March 24th, 17 folksfrom the church met at Wayne Miller’shouse and, keeping our social distance, commenced to sing Happy Birthday to Wayne on the occasion of his 100th birthday as he looked on from his doorway. There were good wishes, cards and gifts (cupcakes, maple
syrup, homemade soup and donuts to name a few) and, even, fireworks in lieu of candles. It was great to see so many loved ones, feel a little bit “normal” and, of course, mark this incredibly auspicious occasion. Imagine the things that Wayne has seen and experi- enced in his ten decades reaching all the way back to 1920, up through this week.
Thanks From Wayne
Dear Rev. Mike and my Church family,
Thank you to all those nice people who came over to my house on my 100th birthday, singing happy birthday to me on my lawn. I lived to see a celebration of my 100 years of life, and I had a happy time.
I was ever so surprised, and didn’t expect to see so many people here to give me good wishes, and to sing Happy Birthday to me. It meant so much, and made me smile all day. Thank you for thinking of me in a special way. I told my neighbors about it. I wished I could have invited you all in to visit awhile. Maybe when this is all over, we can get together again.
I appreciated also the cards, calls and good food gifts given to me. You’ve all been very good to me, and I feel blessed to have very good friends who show how much they care.
I had a very good 100th birthday, with phone calls wishing me well much of the day. My neighbors brought down a good dinner for me, and gave me a birthday cake, which was very good, and I have some more cake to enjoy.
My neighbors are taking good care of me in these worrisome days, bringing me groceries and other needs; telling me to stay in and keep safe, so I am doing that.
As I’ve lived these many decades since 1920, I have seen many changes in histo- ry and society. I really am so blessed to be still living safely and comfortably in my own home, with neighbors and friends to help me. I am thankful for my health in body and mind.
Thank you again for that special birth- day surprise, and thank you for your prayers.
With gratitude and well wishes to all, Wayne Miller
Until we can meet again.
