Thanks to all who replied and promised to send Dominique a card!! He will be so thrilled :):love::love:
Oh, Lut! In what language should we write the birthday wishes? You say he's Down's Syndrome, so I don't know what language he reads or writes, but probably not as many of them as you!
English - Happy Birthday!
French - Joyeux anniversaire!
Flemish - please supply!
Good question!!Quote:

I think he will understand "Happy birthday"!! But if you want to add something in Flemish, this is Flemish for "happy birthday": GELUKKIGE VERJAARDAG !!Quote:

Oh yes, it doesn't matter if the card arrives before, on or even after his birthday; he is ALWAYS in a good mood ;):)Quote:

I just got a card filled out with a sparkly horse running along the shore. Maya what a wonderful friend you are to Dominque.:)
Sending a card with pictures of some of our beautiful Atlantic Coast lighthouses on it.
What a wonderful idea, and you are his true friend indeed! :)
I will try to get a post card with a Camel (the animal that best represents this beautiful country) and if I can one with a peacock that represents my home land INDIA!!
Hope he loves animals:):love::love:
DONE!
Mailed out today!
:D
Mine mailed today also. Don't know how long it takes to get there, but it shouldn't arrive too long after his birthday, I would think.
Mailed ours today! :)
I was mailing mine tomorrow.. but I wrote something else besides Happy Birthday also in english... hmm...
IŽll get that translated and add a note to it ;)....
Will send mine Sat morning.
Mailed mine today. :)
Kiwi postcard in the post tomorrow for Dominique.:)
I FINALLY got mine (three together in one envelope) in the mail yesterday! Sorry, that was the soonest I could get down to the post office.
How FUN and so sweet of you, Lut, to help with this for him! I know that whenever I get ANY mail, be it a PM, text, email or snail mail from ANYONE on PT, it makes my day...week...etc! :)
I'll send him a card or too from California. I'll have to go find some "California" specific cards somewhere. Fun!
Love, Kelly :D
I sent mine about a week ago now, so hopefully he has it, Lut has he got all his nice cards yet from everyone here?:)
Lut, I goofed. I found a post card with a nice picture of the Chicago skyline, and mailed it with the wrong amount of postage. I did get it back, but the U.S. Postal Service put a huge "Return to Sender" sticker on it. I'm going to buy another of the same card and send it again. It will definitely be late, and I apologize for goofing it up the first time.
Thank you,
Elyse
Lut, any news from your friend? Did he have a nice birthday and receive some cards already?
He has got many cards already!! Thanks everybody for spoiling him so much :D:love:
I hope it brought him a lot of pleasure, as my hubby said it is nice to be able to do something that requires so little but can bring so much joy to one, i agree.:) dominique has probably never even heard of New Zealand lol.
