Conchetta

Almost not making it in before a New Year, but good enough to be considered part of that year, like finishing a long race just seconds before the final cut off, that would be you. But whether early or late or just smack dab in the middle, you turned your stride on and take things into your talented hands to a most special level. Keeping that part of the tribe on Loma Linda together when the heads of state called it quits, you turn around with all that you've learned and start a family of your own, Sister, Mom, Grand Mom, all rolled into one. You certainly have done your share of building a loving household. You continue reinventing everything to suit your fancy, cooking, running, and teaching those too young to do it all for themselves, pleasing everyone. Time has moved on, but it hasn't passed you by, after all, you have grabbed for all the living you can get hold of. So have yourself a Very Happy Birthday! You are a Legend and an Inspiration!
