Happy Birthday Catherine!!!
I remember first hearing a lot about you (through a certain 'puppy').... And everytime that puppy spoke of you, I could tell she was filled with love and respect for you. You were Godsent she said, allowing her to 'just be' - sometimes that responsible and wonderful adult and yet also to 'just be' that child that is within.
Then I met you at No Black Tie, when one of her writings were being performed... Our first instance of meeting was one of silence and 'a knowing' (we were listening to the piece being read/performed on stage) .... You were holding puppy in the most loving, comforting, nurturing way.... I saw at that moment that this is were you both belong. With each other, next to each other, for each other. Then the reading ended and eventually we said a big hello... We hugged. Let me tell you what I felt in just that one hug-hello .... I felt love, joy, humour, laughter, strength, loyalty, compassion, passion and child-like-wonder... And that was just the hug Catherine! ;)
What a joy to later find that you are a that and more, especially seeing you speak about MJ 'falling upon you' in your bed!! LOL! "What a HOOT!!", I thought to myself... We met on several occasions after that, but all the time, you are vibrant, giving and exude the 'lover of life' aura...
So, that is you, in my mind,... ' fun loving lover of life'!
Happy birthday 'fun loving lover of life'...
ON this road called Life,
May there be joy ahead of you
May there be daffodils of Love lining this roadside
May there be a river of champagne and wine alongside this road
... and a river of gooey chocolate on the other
May there be rains of laughter along the way
... and sunshine of smiles
May you be able to give so much to others
... that you get much more in return
May you be kind able to be kind
... to receive kindness in return
May you continue to love life
.. as it loves you back in return.
Happy birthday gorgeous one!
Love,
Her Dory-ness aka Clownfish!!
