Because it be April 30th...

Or barely, but that don't matter. What's important is it's Kea's birthday. And that is cause for much celebration. :)

You see, it's one thing for someone to be such an awesome friend when I've always been there for them. But Kea...there were times I neglected her severely. There were times I was not the friend I should have been (this is an understatment, trust me). Yet when I finally got my head together (not to mention out of my a@@), she was still there--and not just there, she was as giving and loving as always.

Actually, the same is true of Jenn, but because it's Kea's birthday, I recognize and thank her here today. I don't know how I was lucky enough to find someone as warm, giving, and loving as you, hon--but I'm glad I did. I respect and admire you, and owe you a hell of a lot. A toast to someone who truly has a good heart and a pure soul--thank you for being a light to me. *extra hugs* Bunches of love to you, Kea. Happy birthday. :)

Smarmy? Perhaps. But sometimes it's needed and deserved.n
