Happy Birthday, brother

Brother, it has been 14 months since I've seen your face. I'm sure Japan is nice, but I'm ready for you to come home now. I'm counting down the days until you get off that plane in December. I want you to know that I am proud of you. Proud of how far you've come and proud of where you're going. You have become a responsible, albeit cooky, respectful, strong young man. I love you, happy 20th birthday. May this year bring you blessings.
