I wish everyone in the world had a Katie. If everyone in the world had a Katie in their life, they would have the ultimate example of selflessness. A model mother. A perfect friend. If everyone in the world had a Katie, they would always have someone to call, no matter the hour or the instance. If everyone in the world had a Katie their bookshelves would be lined with the most thoughtful Books of Remembrance. Their desk drawers would be replete with kind notes of encouragement. Their journal would hold secret notes written months (sometimes years) in advance to find once they've reached that page. And, all the lines in between would not be short on adventures. I've been lucky enough to have a Katie in my life for most of my life, and not just any Katie, this Katie. Oh, how much better life is when you've got Katie!
Happy 27th Kates!

Oh.my.gosh! Marth, how could you possibly make my birthday anymore wonderful! Thank you so much. You are far, far too kind. I am only trying to keep up with the incredible blessing you are in my life!
I CANNOT believe you remembered all those memories. I am printing it out. We must read it and laugh, cry, etc... over it all together soon.
Lots of love to you! Thanks again for the fun time today. Love you!
