It seems just like yesterday when we saw you the first time, and as we accompanied you in your growing years, you amazed us with your metamorphosis from a baby that cried without seeming reasons at all, to a child that did everything that she was asked to do without any complaint, to a difficult adolescent that wanted to do everything all at the same time and now to a mature woman who keeps on striving to find her place under the sun, patiently, courageously and generously offering whatever she can to be of service to anyone, who needs help.
On this your special day, your family wishes you all the best not only for today but more so when you need it most. Be assured that you can always count on us for whatever your needs are and to share with you not only the happy moments but also the sad ones (which we hope are fewer than the other).
Celebrate, our dearest Mel, for even when we cannot be in Bournemouth with you, we will be with you to celebrate it as if we were there with you. We will pray that your wishes as you blow your birthday candles become realities sooner than you expected.
¡Muchas felicidades, de tu familia con todo nuestro cariño!
Remember that a birthday is just a start of a 365 day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip joyfully. Many, many, happy returns of the day.

FELICIDADES-CONGRATULATIONS!!!
ReplyDeleteBueno, yo te felicito en español que sé decir más cosas para estas ocasiones... Espero que no te tiren tanto de las orejas como regalos recibas, aunque ya sabes que eso no es lo importante... Lo importante es comer muuucha tarta! jajaja... Have a nice day and enjoy your brand new 18, hahaha! ;-D Lots of Love. Beatriz.
(By the way, I love the look of the chocolate cake in this super-cute greeting post: I almost slurp the screen: yummy!!!)

ReplyDeleteHi Family!thank you very much for your lovely messages, especially mum for creating this wonderful post and such a thoughful message. I had a great time on my birthday. I started the day with a first aid training course with the Red Cross. Andy picked me up as soon as it finished and took me to a pub in the New Forest (One of UK's National Parks) where me met some friends for dinner.We camped in the campsite next to the pub and went for a walk around the lakes today.All perfect!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Andy says that I still want to do everything at the same time! ha ha
Love you ALL, MEL
