A note just for you

Dear Michael,

Some people make the world feel a little more steady.

You are one of them. I hope this birthday reminds you how appreciated you are—not only for what you do, but for the thoughtful, funny, quietly caring person you are.

May the year ahead bring you peaceful winter evenings, a garden full of life, great food, proper rock music, plenty of chocolate, and many happy walks with Heimdal.

Happy birthday, old soul. — Cristine
