dear monica ~
congratulations! it's your 18th birthday! now you're on to bigger and better things like.. voting, buying cigarettes for no apparent reason, and buying things on those tv commercials with your debit card. (^.^)b you can also look at those little yellow tobacco notices that say "you must be born before on today's date in 1986", point and scoff at it and say with great glee "ha! i can legally buy tobacco products now!" hehe 
life hasn't been easy for you but you have made so many great achievements on your way through childhood. you may not see them but i can bet that all those pple that have been with you for most of your life can point them out and be proud of you. i can only wish you the best of luck and wishes as you continue down a new path and begin to write a brand new chapter in your life.
regretfully, i can't say that i've known for all of your life [i wish did..] but i can proudly say that i have been blessed with your presence for 5 wonderful years. i still remember meeting you in the 8th grade in that one lady's history and english block class, all those bus rides home with patricia, the letters we used to send each other even though we lived like a block away from each other, going to see that corny "shanghai knights" movie then going to see "finding nemo" with hannah and her brother just before she left, trying to get me to wear make-up and i would fight like a cat trying to get away, finally being able to put make up on me when we went shopping and walked into bath and body works, getting those yummy ice storm things in the nordstrom cafe, having dinner at red robin, the whole JOSH SELLERS fling - first you then me [-.-;;]. ^-^ we share a lot of memories together and i'm grateful for all of them. :]
even though i moved and we've both been busy with schoolwork and leading our lives, you have always been there with such loving, supportive, caring and understanding words. you always encouraged me to go after anything that i dreamt up and boosted my self-confidence by helping me realize what i created or did really is. without you, i would have never even considered going into graphic design as a major or a career because i never thought i had enough talent. but you believed in me and that gave me enough courage and belief that i could actually be a graphic designer or an art director. you always gave me such wonderful advice and guided me flawlessly into areas that you knew i'd do well in.
you always believed in me monica. no one else had ever done that for me before and i'm forever in your debt for it. i only wish that i could have done the same for you. you always eased my aches, smoothed my feathers, made me laugh when i was down and so much more. i can't ever thank you for all the encouragement, love and support that you've always shown me. you have been the best friend that i have never had and i'm grateful for your warm and caring presence in my life.
no matter where we are or what happens in the years to come, even if we should lose contact [heaven forbid!] i'll always hold you in my heart and never let you be forgotten. i hope that this friendship will continue and to continue to get stronger. whenever you should fall, i'll be right by your side to lift you up and give you encouragement and support should you need it. you mean so much to me monica! words could never express! i truly love you like a sister. :]
today is your day! may all your wishes come true and a very happy birthday to a very special, sweet and wonderful person!
p.s: YOU STILL HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY! >:] i'll let you pick something out at northgate when we go out for lunch to california pizza kitchen. yum! :]
