There is never a a time when we talk that I do not end up cracking up,
whether things are rotten or wonderful, you bring out the laugh in me.

And yet, you are one of the most tender and sensitive people I know.
I have been the recipient of your kind heart again, and again, and again.
I know I could tell you anything, and you would still be standing there with
your big love.

You really are like Tinker Bell, in the sense that you leave a trail of light and all things good wherever you go.

You are crazy brilliant and wildly creative, (and I covet your wardrobe and your knitting skills :)

Thank you for the gift of your friendship,
the gift of your ability to see what matters most,
the gift of being able to invoke my inner 7th grader at any moment,
the gift of your music which has been a constant companion to my heart,
and the gift of your wise and dear soul.

I am glad you were born.

Happy Birthday Jonatha!
