__________________________________________ Dear Via, Happy Birthday! Okay, maybe that was a little too straight forward. Let me start again. *takes deep breath* Via, you are one of the most amazing people I know. You're so kind to everyone, and have such an incredible, beautiful personality. I want to thank you for that. For being you. Thank you for being there for me, for being my friend, for letting me know that you're always there for me. I appreciate that more than you can ever imagine. I know that life is hard, and sometimes it feels like we're losing everything. I also know that you're strong enough to get through all the hard times, and emerge as a better, stronger person. Through the challenges in our life, we still find things to be grateful for, and I'm so grateful for you. You're one of my best friends, and ilysm Via. Your beautiful, brilliant, awesome self means so much to this world, whether you realize it or not. I'm always here for you, if you want to chat, if you need a hug, if you feel like you need to smile. *smiles* Have the best birthday anyone could ever hope for. <3 Love, Starr P. S. You might've noticed I didn't make a gift ... I'm so so sorry, I ran out of time - piano practice. :( xDD I hope you like my letter, and it isn't cheesy. xD <3 __________________________________________
