One night, Mildred, who shared Papa’s love of the heavens, met with friends who viewed the sky through telescopes. “Send me some Milky Way!” they laughed when departing. Mildred heard the lightness in their laughter and put the bright notes into her melody. Like stars.

At last her tune formed using simple notes as close as a child’s footsteps. It held happiness.

Once again Jessica sang for her sisters. Excitedly they asked Jessica to try other words with the tune of “Good Morning to All” to see if the new notes fit many occasions.

“Try Happy Vacation to You,” Patty said.

“Happy Journey,” said Mary.

“Happy New Year. Happy Christmas,” urged Mildred.

Jessica sang all their ideas.

“What would you like to hear, Mama?” Patty asked. Martha smiled at her daughters. Was it not so long ago Patty was a little girl with golden-red curls, and Jessica, the baby born with the morning? Each child was a song of life in her memory garden with William. “Try Happy Birthday,” laughed Mama. So Jessica sang the famous little song in Louisville for the first time at 1109 Second Street.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, dear children, Happy Birthday to you.
