happy birthday, john

Happy Birthday!  What a great day it was.

Back in the day:

We've known each other a long time, it's true.

And I'm so glad.

You've been an awesome friend to both me and Dad and your affection and care for all the rest is real and true.

I hope forty-one will be a great year.  It's sure been interesting so far.

Happy Birthday with love for always.  Thanks for being ours.

Love, Mom and Dad and Everybody
