'Appy Birthday 4D!!

That last post segues into my heartfelt greetings for my dear brother 4D (Day's Darling Debonair Destroyer), otherwise known to the rest of the world as Chris-Amats Salgado. I'm very bad at birthdays, but to think that we celebrated his last one in the hinterlands of Benguet while Darling Day was in Fiji. So I really had no excuse not to remember his 30th year anniversary on this earth - especially since I had a text conversation with him earlier in the day on a totally different matter and was on YM while he was waxing nostalgic and acting all senti . We were in the middle of a C+C partners' meeting, and I even said, "Ang weird ni Amats, nag-iinarte..." Haha, and he had good reason to - we were talking for a good 20 minutes but not one of us remembered his special day! Not until Johanna came in, took a few minutes to think about it, and then all heaven broke loose as we tried to rectify our oversight!!

I still can't forgive myself dear bro, but my birthday amnesia (happened with Nanay D too once upon a time, twice upon a time pa yata, waah!!) doesn't mean that you're any less special in my life. Thank you for the love and the support, for being a confidant and a cheerleader and a matchmaker (although I think you know what the score is on that!! Sorry to disappoint, hehe... then again, the world has witnessed stranger things) and a fellow servant and a true brother in Christ, in every sense of the word. The world is a brighter place because you carry His light in your life.

Amats and his darling Daisy are two beautiful people who I trust implicitly. With my confidences, with my dreams and plans, with my "issues", with my time and love and friendship - and with a little list no one on this earth has ever seen. Ha ha - you are my objective Commission of Appointments: it's now unofficially your job never to allow me to "settle" for less. (You may add "Amats and Day have to approve of him" to the end of the list - he he). And that in itself goes to show how much the "family D" means to me. :-)

Let's keep praying for each other! Happy 30th birthday my dearest brother 4D, we love you so very much! May you find all your deepest desires fulfilled as you fulfill His!

E e e e... ;-)
