"No Me": With Love to Glen...

Posted Mar 10, 2009 08:02 PM
I have a lovely friend Lisa. She is as “fun as a barrel of monkeys”, and thoughtful as can be. I received this message from her today, and want you all to see it.

A friend of mine has a brother who will be turning 50 on March 21. This in itself might not seem a huge milestone, but if you knew Glen, you would know why this is a big deal.

When Glen was born in 1959, there were severe complications which caused brain damage. Glen has limited speech capability, and is socially, and emotionally in the age range of 12-14. The doctors told his mother he would never speak, and never walk. Well, we are celebrating his 50th birthday in a few weeks, and I would like to invite all of you to help Glen celebrate by sending him a card.

Glen often checks the mail and can recognize his own name on an envelope. Each day he walks out, brings back the contents in the mail box and then will say, "No Me" Meaning, "Nothing for me" Well, I'd like for him to say, "All me", meaning "It's ALL for me"

As I said, his birthday is March 21st, and some of his favorites are:

His favorite color is: Blue

His favorite music is: Elvis and the old 60s style

His address is: Glen Hill, 914 Keele Drive, Reno, NV 89509

Please send a card and make his birthday a great one!
Thanks,
Lisa

I just happen to know a special group of fabulous people…of course that’s you out there BraveHeart Women!!

Let’s all send Glen a great birthday card. But better yet…pick a date (two or three) and log it in your iPhone, Blackberry, DayTimer, whatever you use to note your important dates and reminders. Put in Glen’s name and address, at random on any date, and you know what to do from there.;)

Aloha Leslie,
The card is on its way! What a tribute to Glen! My mother orchestrated a card shower on my father's last birthday. It was tender and momentous at the same time!
Glen will never forget this act of Love!
