Dear Mom,
I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday. You have always given me a huge amount of support in just about everything I have endevoured to do. And that means the world to me.
I feel like you have accomplished so much with me. And that may have been hard sometimes. But your strength and perserverance have been a source of motivation to me for many years. And I thank you for that.
Love,
Mark

A letter to my Nana Hi Nana!!! Happy Birthday! Are you going to have a birthday party with grandpa and Rono? I think maybe you will. I miss you Nana, and I wish I could be there on your birthday to have cake with you and make a tent. And we could go on a boat..then sleep in my tent.
Nana, we have done so many fun things together and I love you. And I miss you. I hope you have a very good Birthday and have lots of presents and cake.
I wanted to say a couple of things about my Mom. Things that mean alot to me.

First of all I would like to say how impressed I am at her amazing ability to learn. Every time I talk to my Mom I completely baffled by how much she has learned since I was a teenager. She never ceases to get smarter. The older I get the smarter my mom gets. *smile*
Seriously though, she is a wonderful Mom. She is a fantastic friend. And she is a superb Nana.

There are a couple of people who you may recognize that are lucky enough to share a Birthday with my Mom. They are James Caan, Martin Short and Lenard Nimoy. They are in great company and should feel very lucky.

Mom,
Happy Birthday. I love you and I miss you. Have a wonderful day, it is your day after all.
Love,
Your proud Son,
Mark.

P.S. Oh and Mom, one more thing, I wouldn't want you forget to say Crazy Randy's name on your birthday......
