Dear Vicky,

I’ve been trying to avoid writing that same cliché sentence everyone writes — you’re amazing and I’m so glad I met you and lalala — because that’s so painfully obvious. No need to state what’s so clearly true. Your personality is so brilliant it brings me to my knees. You combine love, strength, kindness and extreme care all in one lovely package. As I count my blessings at the end of the day, I can’t help but feel blessed that someone who loves Graham Norton as much as me entered my life. Seriously, dude, THAT’S something! Hee hee. I’m incredibly fortunate to be able to talk to you, there’s not one mean vein in your body {wanted to say bone but … I’m different ;)}, you’re ready to help, your all-consuming strength is both inspiring and humbling. In a sense, you truly remind me of Chyler Leigh. You have her strength, you have her guiding light. All I can hope for is that you go on and do amazing things, and find a love like Mark and Lexie’s.
Here’s to an amazing 20th birthday and, if I had a glass, I’d be raising it and hoping for another 20, and another 20, and more 20 and 20 years to come, because people like you need to be around until the end of time. Since I don’t have a glass, consider this a virtual pat in the bum and off you go. Have an amazing day, my love! I’m bringing out my party horn and hats for you.

Love you always,
Francisca
