Dear Steffi,

Not all birthdays can be "Happy" ones.  But even if one occurs at a sad time, it still deserves to be honored.




Nor can all torpedoes "be damned".  But when one does come along that can't, it is then to be faced with strength and with courage.....

...as you, assuredly, will.

 You are your father's and your mother's daughter.

With love,
