happy birthday, james

We cooked supper on Friday night to celebrate.

We sang Happy Birthday to this newly teenaged person

And to James

Even with more and more candles, still efficient.

James, every year:

Thank you for all the happiness you've brought us.

Being your mom, your parents, your family has been nothing but a pleasure.

Your patience, kindness, sense of humor, so reliable, and so appreciated.

We could not love you more.

Happy Birthday!   Love, Mom and Dad and Everybody
