Happy Birthday, Dad!

SOPRESA! SURPRISE! Today is a very special day. A little like Christmas when this picture was taken (hence the piece of giftwrap on my head). It's Mike's birthday.
Dad, you probably thought that there wouldn't be a card this year since I'm half a world away, but no...What could be better than a virtual b-day card. Especially one that everyone else can read and enjoy along with you.


I know I look somewhat terrified in this picture, but the truth is you always know how to make me laugh. And for better or worse your sense of humor has rubbed off on me over the years among other worthwhile qualities, I believe.


Today I want to say yet again how much I love (and R-E-S-P-E-C-T) you. I am really blessed to have you as my father. You and Mom have always been so good to me, for example, supporting me in my endeavour to live and learn in Argentina this year. I miss you so very much. Only two more months and I'll be able to give you all those hugs I've been saving up. There might be a few gifts, too (smile). You are in my prayers always. More than ever. With you in spirit. Your girl, - Sarah Anne
