raze having the chance to know you, and to exchange thoughts and hopes and fears and dreams and words with you, both here and elsewhere, has been one of the great gifts of my life. to say i'm glad you're in the world would be akin to saying, "the sun, she is sometimes bright."

i hope the day is full of magic and brimming with everything and everyone you love.

e_o_i Happy birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day. Shakespeare_and_haggis was a delight to read - not surprisingly, since so much of your writing resonates with me and/or teaches me something new. Best of best in the year ahead! 250713

raze i don't know how it's possible to feel like you've known someone all your life when it's only been a little over a year. but that's where i'm at. it feels like you've always been here. and yet i came so close to never knowing you at all.

if today is even half as special as you are, it'll be pretty spectacular. i hope it's that kind of day. you deserve it.

ovenbird Thank you everyone! It was a good enough day. There were apple fritters and I didn't have to make dinner, so that's something. I do miss childhood birthday parties a bit though. I should throw myself one, one of these days. 260713
