I know your birthday tends to get "lost in the shuffle" of Christmas but I wanted you to know today is also very special because it is your birthday. I don't know how I would have survived the past two years without your friendship. You have been there every step of the way, a hand to help pull me up when I couldn't on my own. You embody the true meaning of unconditional friendship, a true gem. Now that I have probably embarrassed you , please have a wonderful birthday and know all you do IS appreciated.

Love, Jess
