Happy birthday.

I get a really nice feeling when it's the birthday of someone I know and like.  It seems that it's a special day to honor that person for begin such a good person.  And there seems to be so few times when special things such as friendship, gentleness, understanding, and kindness are properly appreciated.

So let this be an occasion when I can tell you (which is also very important) that y our special kind of being is being seen and does have a positive effect on the people around you.  May it continue to grow.

I guess that looking at it that way, birthdays do mean something and are really kind of nice to have.  Well, once again Happy Birthday and I'll write soon.
