I missed the birthday of a very special friend. (I sent a lame text message when the day was at its end.)
Happy Birthday Card

How can I rectify this terrible fauxpas? I can’t sing happy birthday. The words stick in my craw.
I have no good ideas. I hope this card suffices. I’ll send it in a day or two from one of my devices.

I love, love, love your new red-netted throne. You can hold court in it and Bow can eat his bone.
Get Well Card
I have a special friend who had an operation. I fear that her recovery won’t be like a vacation
Hello dearest Pat, You’ll soon be good as new. Your shoulder was repaired with a plate and screw or two.
Once you’ve healed a little, you’ll get some therapy. They say those boring exercises really are the key.
All your friends and family are sorry that you fell. They know that you will persevere and they all wish you well.
Tonight I’ll say a prayer and ask God to comfort you. He’ll give you the strength to do what you must do.
I love you many bunches…

A BIG BIRTHDAY CARD
Last week my niece, Erin, calmly celebrated a birthday that I must admit, left me devastated.
She’s the baby of our family, but I hope she doesn’t mind… sharing with her Aunt MG the age of thirty-nine.

A special birthday greeting was privately shared with Erin the day before her big day… Happy Birthday sweet Erin.
