HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY DETS!!! I hope you had a lovely day :)

AWWW THANK YOU! I really did! My family made an epic fuss of me. My Dwarfling made me a card at daycare, and didn’t stop singing ‘happy birthday’ until yesterday, lmao. 

When she gave me the card, she also said, ‘I’m proud of you, Mummy’ which = HAPPIEST TEARS OF MY LIFE. I mean, like… I say that to HER, it’s not supposed to be the other way around!!! If you could bottle a moment, heh ❤

Oh my, it is your birthday! Happy Birthday! With all my heart, I wish you a blissful and bountiful year to come. And wings for your pen and may Euterpe visit your dreams!

it was my bday yesterday, Nonnie! I am now an even older fart than I was before, heh. Even though Monday-birthdays are a bit bleh, I really did have a lovely day. 

Awww, thank you! Those are some seriously beautiful and touching wishes, I am feeling mega-lucky! 😀
