I have been so excited about your birthday, Marian. You are an amazing woman with courage, fortitude, and such a fine character. I have grown to admire and care about you listening to Jackie speak about you. The bond between mothers and daughters is very special, and you and Jackie are both so lucky to have each other. I lost my Mom right before I turned twenty, but her love remains very powerful for me. You and Jackie share a very special relationship, and you raised a beautiful daughter. I hope you had a very happy birthday. I wish you much health, happiness, and love in the coming year and always.
