Jim Gaffigan penned a touching tribute to his
wife, Jeannie Gaffigan , in honor of their 14th
wedding anniversary and amid her recovery
from a surgery to remove a brain tumor.
“14 yrs ago today I married the love of my life,
@jeanniegaffigan. Together we've created 5
children, 5 hour specials, 2 books, 2 seasons
of a TV show and one massive brain tumor,”
the actor, 51, wrote alongside a picture of the
couple dancing on their wedding night.
I realize we live in strange, maybe even mean
times. Like you, I read the news daily shaking my
head with horror how humans treat other
humans. But there are some amazing people out
there. When @jeanniegaffigan was diagnosed
with a brain tumor so many friends, family and
strangers stepped up to offer meals, help,
encouragement and prayers. It really blew me
away. Thank you so much for everything. One
friend was @mariobatali who with his wife Suzi
sent over numerous elaborate gourmet meals to
feed me, the kids and our helpers. Last week I
emailed Mario asking him to hep me find a place
for our 14th wedding anniversary. I was trying to
find a nice place for us to celebrate but given
Jeannie can not comfortably eat solids I was
hoping to find a place that did amazing soups
(yes,in July.) I knew Mario was on vacation but I
hoped he could point me in the right direction.
Mario responded insisting that we come to
@delposto and that he would make sure we were
well taken care of. When we arrived we saw that
Mario had created a custom tasting menu of
various gourmet soups with accompanied wines
or cocktails. Of course the whole experience was
insanely amazing but the generosity of kindness
and compassion by Mario was most moving.
