I received a parcel at work from my daughter and her boyfriend. It contained a birthday card in the shape of a motorcycle leather jacket and a book on rides you can take using the back roads in my part of the world! My eyes filled with tears as I was reading the card. My daughter wrote that I mean everything to her and that I'm her role model. Her boyfriend thanked me for accepting him in our family despite of not being in the same faith. Today I realized that I have been deprived my whole life of the joy of reveiving testimonials of love and friendship from family and friends simply because a few old men in New York decided that it was wrong! Happy 59th birthday to me.
Today I received my first ever birthday gift!

Hey, Happy Birthday.
I remember getting a present from my (never-a-JW) Dad and his wife after I told them about TTATT. It was awesome.
Many more birthdays to you.

NVR, happy birthday, please be careful riding those scenic routes in your part of the world. I totalled my bike this year and at 50, it's hard to heal up physically. Uhg
