Golden girl!

What a golden girl!  We are so thankful that you entered our life.  You transformed by brother from an ardent Marxist to a fun human being. You've gifted our extended family with two wonderful  and extremely bright children. And your restaurant recommendations are always on the mark.  I remember so well the long journey to Manilla, via Thailand and the explosion of Mt. Pinatubo, to your wedding.  It wall all pretty overwhelming, but you showed such joy and warmth through it all we realized two things right away.  First, you are a joyous and warm person and you extend those gifts to everyone you meet. And second, you actually enjoy overwhelming chaos! May your next 40 years be as amazing and adventurous as your first 40!  Much love, Steve
