Olivia Frances Whelan. I have the best daughter in the whole world. It’s true!
This photograph was made by persons now unknown to me. The subject is simple and yet when I look at this picture I feel I should know something that I cannot understand. This is my first girlfriend, and I wonder why we didn’t marry and live happily ever after. Then I realize immediately, , no Michael and Olivia, It cannot be the way it is supposed to have been. It must be the way it is, and Thank God
Michael Patrick and Olivia Frances Whelan. I am the most fortunate man alive, and I realize this every day. I can simply not imagine any other life than the one I have as a father to my children.
Here is Olivia in the earliest days when we first arrived here in Las Vegas. She has always been a very happy little girl who enjoys school and is kind, courteous and polite.
Olivia’s Baby Jogger, an inaccurately named product, as the baby never does the jogging…

This is one of my favorite pictures in the whole world, so please forgive me for putting it twice, but the editing seemed to give it something in a different way. Hope you like it! Michael

This picture was made in Las Vegas @ 2001. Me.
Olivia Frances Whelan. Baby.
The wild west is still very real here in Nevada, as you can readily see from the “native dress” being worn by the children in this photograph. Mikey and Olivia are typical Nevada children, who have the true pioneer spirit.
Olivia sleeping soundly as a toddler. She is still a very sound sleeper. Mikey, like his dad, sleeps with one eye open.
The Kids Are Allright, The Happiest Moments In Life.
This is my father and I the Christmas before he passed away, in 2002. WE were at the Four Seasons Hotel here in Las Vegas. I never believed this man would ever die. He seemed indestructable.
This is a picture which shows that Olivia was not always happy to get her double down cool off dunk in the pool, during the summer of 1995, in beautiful Palm Desert, California

Olivia was just getting started back on that day in February 4, 1995 
Holding Olivia in my arms for the first time moments after her birth. This photograph captures a moment that exists in a place of experience and memory completely more rewarding and fulfilling and full of joy and gratitude than I could have ever conceived before it happened. This day was really the start of my real life even as Olivia was beginning her own.

My mother would say about this photograph, “a face only a mother could love” Any way the sun and the elements will most assuredly take its toll, not to even mention the ravages of time

My Cavalry Days, hence the streets of Jersey City were safe for children to play because the Cavalry would always “save the day”
Jersey City Mayor, Thomas J. Whelan, United States Ambassador to Ireland, Winston Guest, and Michael P. Whelan. Phoenix Park, Dublin 1967
Irish Dancing and Irish Drinking were all a part of life when I was growing up. Especially, the drinking part. My father once marched in the St.Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin and then flew to New York on the same day to march in that parade in the late afternoon. The time difference makes it possible

Olivia participated in her school talent show this year even though she had been away from her Ballet and Tap lessons for almost the entire year before. In spite of missing that time she was phenomenal. You could hear nothing at the end of her performance except the sound of applause.
