HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIELLA


"At faz tent avguri ad bon cumplean!"
Fortuna dies natalis!
Joyeux Anniversaire!

Feliz CumpleaƱos!
Eid milaad saeed! or Kul sana wa inta/i tayeba


I had a request from my Special friend Poalo to construct this post on his behalf. He has written this special message to his wife Daniella.

"As I attempt to find words worthy to introduce the person that has changed my life, I realize that the words have yet to be invented that are large enough, colorful enough or true enough to express the heart and soul of this woman that I love." "Daniela, I wonder what can I possibly say to do justice to the way you've lived your life and to the lives that you have changed."

When I go I have never been at a shortage of ways to reflect the light you've brought into my life. I wont be a person who will look back and wonder what could have happened
or what would i do everytime I want to be with you but you not there
What would I do if you died tomorrow and I never got to tell you I love you that last time before you go to bed.

And now how ironic that in these few short moments I need to capture in words these things I so deeply appreciate in you. Maybe I can say it to you this simple way." "Not long ago we were on the road and I looked out our hotel room window from the upper floor of a very tall high rise. I could see the rooftop of an old beautiful Mosque. It was stunning with its carved stone and marble - all done so perfectly. I could not believe the work of art I was seeing and I wondered how many years did they take to create this and what drove them to be this committed?
Then I began to appreciate something greater. I realized that when this rooftop was built it was by far the tallest building. In an age long before airplanes or skyscrapers these artists believed each day as they went about their work that no human being or one set of eyes would ever see their creation. How could they not have cut one corner? How could they consider no task routine? I can only think it came from a place deep inside - the need to be true to themselves was their reason and their reward." "All of this has helped me to understand you just a little better, never needing applause to be your best, only needing to give the best your soul could give to feel complete." "From the roar of voices to the quietness of a child's bedroom that generous soul that unbending strength that soft spoken integrity has not been shaken. The arena of life simply gave you a platform and an opportunity to refine those inner qualities even more."
"You have always been about the action not about the words.
You have never defined yourself by what you have achieved, rather you have achieved by how you define yourself.
And even now, it has taken my breath away to see how you've quietly laid down your sword to pursue love and motherhood with the same zeal and high standards you have always demanded of yourself." "No, no one has ever known you to be infatuated by your own accomplishments. In fact, as I have often said, anyone who speaks with you will most likely forget the great things you have done within the first thirty seconds, but they will feel cared for, their feelings engaged and you never let go of their heart until they know that they are completely understood."
"The history books will record for posterity your ability to embrace and rise above adversity, to play through injury and bad times and to win again, and again and again." "Far in the future people will analyze and discuss your place as the greatest of your time. And as those future generations hear of your strength and dominance they may be tempted to think that they know you, or the real heart of a giant that beats inside of you. But for those blessed enough to actually see first hand your quiet humility, to watch you represent your life with unmistakable dignity and for those of us who are even more blessed to be lifted out of ourselves by your laughter, to be on the receiving end of your always generous heart, we will have etched forever in us something a statistic could never contain." "We have been touched deeply by your life. You have made us better and we will never be the same. Daniella, you have spent many years of your life competing, through tough times but right here we stand in the ears of your future children and right now in my heart, you have no rival." " Have you ever wondered which hurts the most?
Saying something and wishing you hadnt?
or saying nothing and wishing you had?
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say.
Dont be afraid to tell someone you love them I guess is one.
If you do they might break your heart....if you dont you might break theirs.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person?
Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesnt. You cant tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own.....When you least suspect it or even when you dont want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you ever had, but that other person was too afraid to let you
Too Many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even at all.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle.
We tell lies when we are afraid of what we dont know, afraid of what people will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But everytime we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger. Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump.


"Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the greatest person I have ever known.

My Wife Daniella. You know who you are

  6. We came from the valley of thrills,spills. Where you would watch the back of the next man as he would yours. Where it didnt matter where a man came from or what he was. We were always the first to enter the battlefield and the last to leave. AND WE ALWAYS LEFT NO ONE BEHIND.

    WE GOT UR BACK. YOU CARRIED ME OFF THE BATTLEFIELD MANY A TIME POALO. Happy Birthday to your wife
