Congratulations Lana on this your birthday---48 of them and exactly 1/2 of them (24) I was able to celebrate with you. I am so sorry about not being able to be there to enjoy and celebrate your birthday. I do miss you so much and hope that things are on the mend between the two of us.

Love your Wusband
