On its way

Happy birthday, sweetie!

Told you I wouldn't forget. Wish you were here. The cosmos still owes us bigtime.

Yes, sweetheart ...

I won't forget your birthday this year. I made that mistake once, and you never let me live it down. It's bad enough to think I already face an eternity of "You were going to go to a baseball game without me on MY birthday" without compounding the mistake.

And this year I'll try to not get the balloon bouquet stuck in a tree. OK?
