26 November - a Thanksgiving and a birthday

26 November is always a very special day to me.

And this year is even more special because for the first time in my life, I am celebrating thanksgiving for the first time. :)

It's also a very special day coz it's my best friend birthday. :)

Looking back at those years that have passed, I think we should be proud. You have really transformed to a man that when your oldself look at what you are now, he will stare in astonishment because you are not what he was.

And I think I am so proud that I am part of that metamorphosis. And I think you should be glad, too, that your transformation has brought transformation to other people's (that is my) life, too. I am proud that I know who you were, who you were in the middle and who you are now and I am proud because your transformation has led you to be a better man.

I pray in thanksgiving of the gift of friendship and brotherhood from you, Rand. You are my confidante, my identity (according to Facebook and it's so true. haha), and my brother. I pray for every grace and blessings for you that the Lord may show his face upon you and give you peace.

I wish you enough, Rand...

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much
bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye." - Unknown Author

Happy Birthday, dear. Many returns! :)
