Dear Nora,
I am so sorry I'm not there to celebrate your birthday, but I wanted to wish you a huge happy birthday!
From the moment I first arrived, through all the difficulties Nora and I have faced in these hard times, you (and Don, I can't leave him out!) have been a pillar of strength. I am so grateful for everything you do for us.
I am looking forward to getting home to celebrate the future birthdays.
With love, from
Matt, Nora & Declan
