Jen,

I count my lucky stars after every encounter with you that I have you as a friend.

I have learned so much from you about how I’d like to be as I move forward in this next chapter of my life. In the few years that we’ve grown closer I’ve learned from you that it’s possible to be:

about whom I can make that claim.  I feel lucky to have you as my friend.

Dear Jen,

It's so hard to write a birthday message for you that sums up all that I feel for you after 32 years of friendship.  (First of all, 32 years?!?!)  And also I want to make it perfect - just the right blend of humor and wisdom - but, this being real life, let me make an attempt at writing a Jen-worthy note for your 40th...

Happy 40th Birthday Jen!  We miss you here in Boston!  We hope you have a wonderful celebration with friends and family. Love, Aiden & Russell, Emma, Grace, and Clara
