Quentin's dad turned 69 today. Wow! This evening the girls and I met Quentin at his parents' house to wish Dennis a happy birthday. Dennis was feeling well today and it was SOOO nice to be able to visit with him - he told stories of when he was 3 and got polio. He remembers walking into an ice cream shop totally fine but leaving with stiff legs. His home was quarantined which scared the neighbors. He was paralyzed for 2 years and his sweet, devoted mom had to spoon-feed him and put scalding cloths on his entire body to relax the muscles. Wow - I had no idea. Dennis has had a hard life but a blessed life as well. Happy birthday!
