Remember Jiana on her birthday May 5th

Hope you had a good birthday.

it got Jiana to come back to 43things.

YAHOO!!!

for remembering me.

Hope you had a great birthday. Hope to see you in Manchester in the summer.

to show our precious desert jewel how much we adore her!

Here is a whole mountainside of flowers for you…I hope it’s still 5/5 when you get them. Happy birthday darling, I don’t know if you will stay here on 43things or go, but either way you are very cherished here and I wish you all the very best.

HUGS! Melissa

I know when you get this it won’t be your birthday anymore (at least where you are), but I knew when you woke up you’d be hungry for a yummy breakfast before you go to work, so I’ve baked you your own special batch of chocolate muffins—and you don’t even have to share!!!

Ecco il Tiramisù!

Imagine my surprise when she actually created an account to come celebrate with us. It’s so nice when people who once were active here check back in. Let’s hope that she’ll do it again next year, if not sooner.

So Jiana, here’s my birthday wishes for you for the coming year. May your friendships blossom and not grow stale or be forgotten. May your creative muses grace you with new inspiration. And may the dark cloud that has been following you be revealed to have a silver lining that makes you forget all the darkness and instead celebrate the future.

Jiana, you are sweet, thoughtful, generous, warm, funny, and playful. You are very sadly missed, here, but always, always remembered. I hope you have a fabulous birthday, and that the year it opens is as wonderful as you are.
