Your words, your music, are the greatest gift given. I cannot offer such a powerful gift to you in return, but I can send my gratitude, love, light and well wishes for a Happy Birthday, and a year ahead full of good health, happiness, love, memories made, and continued success, for yourself and your beautiful family. I met you once in Toronto. You held my hand as I sputtered my gratitude to you. You quietly kissed my hand, and told me it was your pleasure and honour to have met me. That kindness shown, meant the world to a kid forgotten and abused by the world, to come from the one who kept her going with his beautiful creations.

Thank you for the soundtrack of my life. May every birthday be one you feel loved and appreciated.
