to you

You, who has celebrated many milestones with me. Who has sent me endless cards, letters, and pieces of treasured artwork.

You, who has given me advice, and so much love.

You, who was one of the first people I told about our miscarriage, because you got it.

You, who throws on sneakers, goes into the snow and creates a snow pony for your daughter just to make her smile (even though she whacked off the head 20 minutes later)

You, who inspires others every day with words of encouragement, love, wisdom, and support.

You, who is an inspiring person who is always willing to offer words of encouragement. She has especially helped me with remembering that I’ll make it through training for the 1/2 marathon! Big hugs and happiest of birthdays to her!


You, who is very wise and grounded. Her advice is very balanced.

You, who seems like such a beautiful person. I appreciate that she takes the time to respond to my tweet-vents when I’m having a rough go of things and that she reads my blog and comments. She makes me feel less alone when I’m feeling lonely. Since we live relatively close to each other, I hope to someday meet up with her in person. I wish a very happy birthday to her today.

You, who without we wouldn’t know that #VelmaIsAHo. I shudder to think where we would be without that knowledge 🙂 You Rock Sweets- thank you for making me stronger. And being my fight when I have none. Super duper mega ginormous hugs

You, who is another year older today. Another year wiser. Another year loved.

Happy birthday, you. From all of us.
