Dear Angela,

I love your birthday because it is a day devoted especially to loving you, which is basically my favorite activity. I hope we can--today and always--be an island of tranquility and caring and support amidst whatever storm is raging outside. I feel so fortunate and grateful to have had you in my life, you just being you, and it is my greatest hope to offer the same support and joy to you over the coming years. You are special and I see how hard you try and I love you for it, but also want you to know that you are loved and lovable no matter what. I can't wait to find out what we discover together between now and the next time we bake you a cake.

Love forever,

Nat
