happy birthday, amy!

darling amy...

happiest of birthdays, dear friend!

my wish for you is that you'll fly free and happy - beyond birthdays and across forever - and that throughout our long lives, you and i will meet, now and then...when we wish...in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.

and wherever you are tonight, i hope the rain has cleared and that you are looking up at the moon, with a beer in one hand and your husband's hand in the other...and that tomorrow gently breezes into your life carrying with it all the choicest of things and all that your heart holds dear.

i am ever so glad you were born.... la
