Birthday Wishes

Dear Kenneth,

I am not sure you'll even get this, but you've been on my mind today, since it's officially almost 4 hours into your birthday here, and already evening on your birthday in Aus, if that's where you still are. I couldn't sleep, and instead of playing around on the internet, I wanted to just write you an email and let you know that I was thinking of you, and that I hope your birthday has been a good one.

It's been almost two years since we last talked, and so much has happened and changed, but I still think of you often. This time last year, I was just finding out that I had bone cancer in my shoulder and that the doctor would need to take a large part of my bone out and replace it with all sorts of fancy new parts. Now I call it my bionic zombie arm, and I have a wicked scar as proof. But the cancer is gone, and I've learned that life's too short to take things for granted.

I never took you for granted, you know. And I did love you, still do, and am grateful for the part that you played in my life and the brief time that it was my privilege to get to know and be close to you. I hope life has treated you well, since last we spoke. You've been on my mind a lot, this last year. Wishing there was some way, just one last chance to apologize to you and to thank you, and to try and be friends. I hope you get this small note. If not today, at least at some time. And I hope it makes you smile. I would love to talk, any time. My info's all still the same.

Always,


Chels
