The DOLPHINS did it! Mike and Bonnie went to see a thriller. The Dolphins started out strong, almost let the Saints squeak out a comeback, but Miami held strong. Great win. Phins up!

Monti turns activities into moments that stick. Games, music, laughs, connection… all orchestrated with heart. If togetherness had a hype man, it’d be Monty. 😎🏆💛

More than music… it’s movement, it’s laughter, it’s FAMILY. That’s the magic you bring, Harold. Thank you for your passion, your dedication, and for reminding us that healing has a rhythm... and joy has a dance. The foundation is better because of you.

Happy birthday, Michael. You epitomize what it means to be independent. Reaching these milestones means so much, and being one of the very first residents in the Foundation, you set the standard. Others look to you for guidance. Thank you for being a great role model. Thank you for helping others when they need it, and thank you for motivating everyone around you. Your presence lifts this community, and the way you carry yourself inspires people every single day.

And honestly, today could not have been a better day for your birthday. The Dolphins were not playing, so we got to celebrate without any stress, without any heartbreak, just peace, joy, and all good vibes. Exactly the way it should be for someone like you.

A nice, calm community walk to start Saturday off right. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

A brother and sister aren’t just family, they’re a bond shaped by time, a shared heartbeat, and a story that began in the same place but grows in two directions, always finding its way back home. ❤️ 💙 💜
