A special birthday greeting

I had a birthday a while ago, and received this lovely e-mail from my cousin Marlene, who was ~12 years old when I was born:

Hi Cindy. I couldn't let the day end without sending you birthday greetings! I hope you had a proper celebration, and wish you all the best for the year to come.

I was thinking tonight about how utterly adorable you were as a toddler in your red corduroy overalls -- how I loved looking after you!

Of course, you're still adorable, but I wouldn't recommend the red overalls at this stage in your life.

Cheers, and happy, happy birthday! Love, Marlene

Marlene, I haven't gotten back to you since, but it's a birthday greeting I will always treasure. :)
