Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on August 14, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Frank McCourt! May your day be filled with more warmth and laughter than the streets of Limerick on a rare sunny afternoon. Your unforgettable storytelling in "Angela's Ashes" has given us tears, chuckles, and an enduring appreciation for life's bittersweet moments.

From teaching classrooms full of spirited students to charming readers worldwide with tales from your Irish childhood—your wit remains timelessly sharp. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought countless fans through every page turned and story shared.

Cheers to another year richer—not necessarily financially—but certainly rich in humor and heart!
