Miles Apart

Why can't you say

You'll always be mine

I know I'll always love you

Even though you break my heart

I'll always think of you

Till the end of time

I'll always dream about you

Even though we're miles apart

~from "Miles Apart" by The Bad

To our dear, dear friend:

Even though we're miles apart, we - The Hubbs and I - really do still think of you.  You're in our thoughts more than you could possibly know, and it kills us to be so far away with such limited contact.

You are a true friend, a title I do not bestow lightly.  It is an honor to know you and to be counted among those who you call friends.

Your son is a ray of light, comparable only to his Daddy.  He is beautiful, bright, and - surprise of surprises - the life of the party.  I wonder where that came from?

Your wife is devoted, and so obviously head-over-heels in love with you.  And any fool can see that her love for you is rivaled only by yours for her.  If ever there was a soul mate, my dear...

Though we're miles apart, we're still family.  I know we'll always love you.  And you should know that we are there in spirit, raucously celebrating your birthday just like old times.

Cheers.
