"God gave a gift to the world when you were born—a person who loves, who cares, who sees a person’s need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up,who spends energy on others rather than herself, someone who touches each life she enters, and makes a difference in the world, because ripples of kindness flow outward as each person you have touched, touches others. Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday, because you are a special treasure for all that you’ve done. May the love you have shown to others return to you, multiplied. I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do."

-Joanna Fuchs

Though those are not my own words, they seem to take the thoughts right out of my head when I think of you, who you are, what you do for people, and what you've done for me.

I wish I could be there with you to celebrate and make you another strawberry 'cake' to enjoy.

In the melody of Stevie Wonder....

"Happy Birthday to ya! Happy Birthday to ya! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I miss you so much and hope that you are having a wonderful birthday! I love you and miss you so so much!

Thanks for stopping by.....
