The Kids

Aw! Happy birthday Q!

What a great story, and a great birthday present. So glad to know how much the "kids" think of you and appreciate what you did.:heart:
 
That made me smile, what a super thing to do. Thanks for sharing, Q.
Happy, happy! :rose:
 
That's a really beautiful story and a credit to you and them. You taught them much about life, and they (and we as a society) are better for it.

Happy Birthday.
 
Happy BDay, Mr. Q.

Thanks to Maine for starting the long overdue landslide. Power to the People!
 
And tell the newlyweds to honeymoon in Colorado where they can legally get stoned and wear Cat in the Hat hats while they ski.
 
Sometimes life can be a bit rough and a little dark. I know there've been a few dark times in my life. I don't really wish to share those times with the whole board which is unfortunate, but I feel as though I could share them with you, and that you would understand and make me feel ok about it all.

Sometimes when you're growing up you need that. Someone to talk to. Someone older and wiser who's been there and gone through the hard times. Someone who's walked the walk. Someone strong and gentle and loving and smart and funny. You're all of those things.

Some kids don't have that. You make them feel safe. Loved. Normal.

I could happily curl up in one of your big, comfy chairs and eat all your food.

Happy Birthday, Q.

Love you xx
 
I really wasn't angling for birthday wishes, but now that I've got them, I am very glad for them.

Thank you, GB family!:rose:

The spaghetti pot is always ready, sweetheart.:heart:
 
40 years, ago, I would never have dreamed this would be possible, where you live.
Even though my own community protected those who were different and vulnerable,
I was informed of what went on in the outside world.

Thank goodness, you had a wonderful and happy birthday!
 
That was such a wonderful story; it has made my day just to read it. Thank you for sharing.

And though you weren't angling for birthday wishes, happy birthday!
 
This is one of those threads that's almost too good for the GB and at the same time, a supreme example of what the GB needs more of.
