I was going to write a quick standard “happy birthday”, you know me and know that I am not one that is short with words…so here goes…
First off, I do want to say….happy birthday my friend, I truly wish you nothing but the best for you and yours. May this day; actually may the rest of YOUR future be everything that you want it to be! In my heart I know that it will be for you.
Secondly, I want to say thank you to you. Thank you for being YOU. Thank you for being a true friend. Ya know, we often do not, especially as men, open up and share our feelings with the same sex (we’ll actually in your case maybe that is still true – lol) but I have come to understand that true friendship, true brotherhood goes beyond words, goes beyond stereotypes, goes beyond the fear of openness, so to you my friend I say once again – thank you, Happy Birthday and I am honored to know YOU.
I believe that God puts people in our lives for a reason. I know why he put you in my life and for that I give Him thanks. You are true friend bro.
Okay....enough of the mushy stuff… as your bro…I’m telling ya…go out, have a blast tonight…I will raise my glass up tonight in your honor – cause honestly, I do not know many 97 year old tutu wearing men (only you – LOL).
Oh...and I am posting this on another medium that i know you look at from time to time.
Love, Eric
