My twin daughters will soon be 30 years old, and we recently had a surprise party for them. I was asked to say a toast. After a few weak opening remarks, I gave this toast:
When life seems unfair and a little unstable,
When all around you becomes a blur,
When everything you try, you find you're unable,
When bottles of medicine a headache will not deter.
Remember that all is not lost or gone,
Remember that family is not far away,
Remember that God is with you -- you're never alone,
Remember Daddy' house where you're always welcome to stay!
Now it's time to raise our glasses to toast
Those twin daughters of whom we often boast.
Here's to Taylor Demmon and Irish Briese
For their 30th birthday, so if you please
Touch your glasses with those around you--
to Irish and Taylor, and to all of you, too.
It was a fine party- only one person got sick, and that was a food allergy. Here's to the lady in the next stall.
