Happy Birthday, friend. I wish you a wonderfully memorable day.

Hey buddy. Thanks, but you are a day early. It's actually on Friday. So, I have one more day to be a spry 41 year old.Hope all is well with you.
So confused. ALL day Wednesday I kept thinking it was Thursday.
I am doing very well as the sitch recedes and the future beckons. Feel like I lost all of '09 in an obsessive, futile attempt to to reach my former dear friend. That year is lost to me in so many ways.
But I gained much from it, not the least of which is these boards and the people who selflessly and sincerely gave so much despite their own deep suffering.

Happy Birthday to one of my first true DB friends!
p.s. y'know what? I've learned that when you take care of yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually, nutritionally, etc., 56 is just as damn spry as 41 smile
Who knew?
