Today is your birthday, and although you are no longer with me in body, you will reamin with me in spirit. I send you the happiest of happy birthday's anyway my special treasure.
There is incredible and wonderful new music all around me, and your song stays locked tightly around my heart. I miss you so very very much.
Sleep on my little puppy, I will see you at sundown
