My friend and I want to wish you the happiest of birthdays! You are a wonderful person
and an amazing friend. John and I are looking forward to seeing you soon. I have a little
present for you but like all my birthday presents, it will be late. :-(

PS The use of my friend here has no relationship to your birthday, I would be the last person
to tease someone on their b-day. :D I just didn't want to use a wooden man as a prop.
I actually like this smiley guy!
