Happy 51st Birthday to survivor Rosie O’Donnell!

strong>Rosie O’Donnell deserves to have an especially happy birthday after suffering a very serious heart attack  last summer that could have killed her.

But she survived and has so much to life for with a beautiful new wife and their new baby to go along with the four Rosie already has.

Last Sunday, Rosie tweeted that her mother died 40 years ago on that day – March 17.

That was less than a week before her 11th birthday.

But Rosie is a survivor and she’s thrived in movies, on television and stage and as an LGBT activist.

She is an amazing woman – and even got red roses today from Tom Cruise who she calls “My Tommy.”

Sweet.
