Happy birthday, Carrie!
What to say to such a fabulous person on her birthday? Hmm....
Well, probably first and foremost, thanks for the second chance at friendship--you're an incredibly wonderful, sweet and forgiving person. You've taught me some important things over the last months, held my hand a fair number of times, got me hooked on the world's loveliest tea, and encouraged my writing (Ha! Writing, she calls it!). What more could I ask for in a friend? Well, I guess you could live closer. I hope your day is fantastic.
