Happy birthday, Virginia!
To know Virginia is to love her.
She's like sunshine: all warmth and light.
Always good for a hug and a laugh,
she makes everything around her bright.
She's not afraid to pull a u-turn
when she's headed in the wrong direction.
Life with her is always an adventure--
sometimes inspiring fear, but mostly deep affection.
A generous hostess with tea at the ready,
this girl can rock a cocktail dress.
But she's just as comfortable on a bike or a mountain;
she's not afraid to make a mess.
An earnest seeker and a student of life,
her spirited debates keep my iron sharp.
Yet despite her depth, she treads through life lightly -
her laughter rings like the sound of her harp.
Her friendship is a gentle medicine;
her smile a work of art.
Her soul is a thing of beauty;
her spirit an exclamation mark!
Wish we could get stuck in a summer rainstorm in Annapolis again this year, but I promise that we'll celebrate belatedly in Idaho instead. (Sarith is in. She says she "likes potatoes.") Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday my beautiful friend. God loves you so much. And so do we. I hope to see you soon. It has been way to long. I love you!
