Today is my birthday. Just awoke to this. It's the middle of the night on the west coast and the middle of the night when W sent this from where we live. I'm out of town and won't be home until Wednesday.
Hi NYGal, Happy 60th Birthday! I've been thinking about you and this day for the last few months. I will always remember how special you made my 60th day and year, particularly the hike from [one beautiful mountain town] to [another]. I hope you have something fun planned for the day, that does not include work.
Would you mind if I came over to visit you and the boys later this evening? I return from [Z] from a work event around 7:30pm. Maybe after you return from dinner? I miss and love all 3 of you.

If it were me, I probably would respond to this but very simply. I would say something like...
"thanks!...that would be nice bit I am out of town for a few days."
That's it... no need for anything more. Then I would probably ignore any follow up questions or answer vaguely much much much later (like half or a full day later).
I hope you have a wonderful day. I do want to echo what Zues said in his post at the end of the first page in this thread. I think it is wonderfully stated advice. I hope you experience peace and joy today. My thoughts are with you.

Civilly friendly but to the point. You're not pushing her away but you don't sound so eager that you're going to scare the scared squirrel that is your W away.
And Happy Birthday!

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
Nope. She doesn't know I saw her w ow. She also doesn't know I'm in California.

Happy Birthday NYG and I also think Pinn's working was great. It will do your W no harm at all to wonder what you are up to on this special day - and I hope you do indeed have a lovely time xx
