Happy Birthday BJ

Today, our young lady, Bernadette Joyce, gets a little older.
It is your Twenty Fourth Birthday today, Bernadette. You are not a little kid anymore, much a less a small baby, as your Mom and Dad still wish you were. But such is not the case and you do have to grow sometime; which you did. Mom and Dad would like you to know that they are proud of what you have become. You turned out to be the daughter they always hope they will have. (Multiply this by 3 and add 1. Mom and Dad are very lucky parents indeed.)
That said, you still have some more growing up to accomplish. We hope for the best for you and remember that we will always be there when you need us, in any way possible.
We Love you.
Happy Birthday, Anak.
We hope and pray that you will have a lot more Happy Birthdays to come.
