Dear Sheila,
I wish you a very happy 60th birthday! I hope that you are celebrating in style; knowing the folks you tend to surround yourself with, I'm pretty sure that I can count on it! Although Mari and I have definitely grown up throughout the years, I'm pretty sure you have stayed timeless. You always were and still are a person that I look up to and admire. After all, our relationship started when I was the little girl with a big appetite, coming over to decimate your "junk drawer," in awe of all the health food products your house contained. (Who knew a 10 year old would prefer Kashi to fruit loops?)
Throughout high school, you definitely helped me keep my sanity by always providing a warm, welcoming place for me to seek harbor and I can assure you that you are the only friend's mom who I called "just to say hi" after leaving for college. And now that Mari and I are "adults" (riiiiiiiight, have you met us?), I can still come home and take refuge at your place, eating wings on New Year's day and hanging out with one of the most awesome, amazing women I know. I only hope to follow in your footsteps and keep on rocking out no matter what age I am. I wish you the best and can't wait to regale you with stories of my Alaska adventures next time I'm home and sprawled out on your couch.
All my best,
Becky
