Grace and I (and your family and friends) are very fortunate that we get to celebrate today. We all get to celebrate a day which changed our lives, a day that without it we would never have been the people that we are today. We get to celebrate that special day when you were born, the day which led to you becoming a part of our lives, a day which was the beginning of the love and the joy and the friendship that you have shared with each one of is.

Thank you for your love and your joy, your smile and your compassion, your kindness and your caring. Thank you for who you are and for sharing that with us.

Happy birthday my love. May this year be a journey in God's love.
