Happy Birthday, Gabriella! My lovely um, partner in civil union? Domestic partner? Wife? Life partner? Special friend? Soul mate? Ack-I’m gagging on that phrase--call me romantic. Well, the good news is that we don’t need a label to know what we are to each other-though it would have made these first few sentences a lot shorter.
For those of you know Gabriella, I’m sure she’d love to hear from you via email or phone. Feel free to use the comment section below, as well. Gabriella is always the first to read my blog. Not only is it a nice gesture to deliver well wishes on someone’s birthday, but Gabriella has had a tough year and could use a little spirit-lifting. Getting laid-off is not exactly how she planned to kick-start her 44th birthday. Hey, I can't help using guilt to solicit birthday wishes. It's a Jewish thing.
Gabriella, I’m not going to use this public forum to tell you what you deserve to hear in person. Suffice it to say that Levi, Asher and I love you very much, and we hope you have a wonderful day and fantastic year. You have made our lives better, richer and funner (so?).
Like another person whose birthday is today but perhaps is a few years younger than you, you are beautiful-no matter what they say! Happy Birthday Christina and Gabriella!

Happy Birthday Gabriella!!
If you were here I'd bake you a cake, too! Hope you have a great day... Love, Treeka
p.s. I wrote you a poem with a little help from our friend DH, we can call her "squeaky":
There once was a girl named Gabriella
Who first thought she liked all the fella(s)
Deborah would cry
because she wanted your hair pie
I would bring her ice cream
and she would sit there and dream
Then you opened your arms (and legs)wide
and let Deborah inside
We are so happy for you
and you even became a Jew
You had a big wedding
and there wasn't even much kvetching
You have two beautiful boys
and they have a lot of toys
You moved to New Jersey
and you drink wine when you're thirstey
Shmiacom made you redundant
but you'll be working soon because your friends are abundant
So now you're "on the dole"
Deborah loves it because she can take a nap
or go to the doctor for a pap (smear)
and she can tell you to your face to shut your pie hole.
The End
Happy Birthday Gabriella! Wow, that poems takes the cake, so to speak. It's Mark's birthday today too.. perhaps I should get Patrick to write a poem for him. Have a great day and drink on me (I'll pay ya later).
Happy Birthday Gabriella! We wish you all the best - have a great holiday!
Jan & fam
