Thank you all. Yes it is good to be alive. It is good to have family and I look forward to seeing you this August, my EA family.

Toogie,

May I offer my heartfelt congratulations and felicitations on this, the anniversary of your nativity?

Will there be cake? (She asked, hopefully.)

Luv,

Have "Twister" mat, will travel.

Tugon, I normally do not respond to birthday messages here (or anywhere, for that matter), but yours seemed extra special. Even though I am a bit late (I don't check here daily), my best wishes for you remain in my thoughts. I was pleased that we got to meet in person last August (the big MoM event!), along with so many other really neat people. Como le dicen en español, feliz cumpleaños!

Hey Tugon, I'm really sorry for missing your birthday. I've not been on EA for a while, and missed a lot of things recently as I managed to drift out of contact with so many people. I hope you had a great day and I promise to never become such a stranger in future!

You have always been a real inspiration to me... your positive and lovely outlook on life despite everything. I would be very fortunate if I were able to grow up to be just like you. In both looks and character. I guess I see both you and Jesus (from the Archives, not our Lord!) as two of my strongest role models in this last half-decade of my life.

Well, sorry to lay it on thick. I'm just saying exactly what I feel and I am so very sorry I missed your birthday. I have been a terrible friend to many in recent times. I hope you are well
