this is it.

I can't believe my birthday is also our one year anniversary! Today I have wonderful plans with some Milton friends, and I even though I am not with you all, I feel deeply connected to you. I feel like the reason I am able to be so happy today, at home, is because I learned how to be joyful at the mountain school. Haha I don't know if that makes sense... But every time I feel especially happy and strong I attribute it to your love.

Thank you.
