One of the great joys in life is to watch your children grow into wonderful human beings that bring smiles to your heart. Today is my daughter Marisa’s birthday and she continues to dazzle me with her beauty,intelligence,sense of humor and commitment to be a “show up person”There is no better friend or colleague than “Ris” as she is known in the family. She will be embarrassed by her father’s words, but they are unabashedly deserved . I wish her the wonder of knowing how much she is loved and treasured by all who have the privilege of having her in their lives. Happy Birthday Ris, and I hope you have a gangbusters year.
