David M.: "(Don't look at the HAPPY BIRTHDAY yet... read the message first) Hey Leslie, Wow! Now you are a whopping 19 years old. Phew... We are getting old, aren't we! So you might be wondering... ??? Hmm, David, you have never given me a card before. Well, that's true, and I am very sorry for that, but after all those many many many cards you gave for all my birthdays, I thought I should be a good friend and encourage you back. Besides, all those birthday cards that you gave me really uplifted me because someone did remember my birthday, and that special somebody was you, so thanks. I just really hope this card uplifts your spirits too, because I know about the situation you are in now. And like I said before, just show your parents that you can do it because God is always on our side. So keep on working hard and hope to see you back at Fellowship and Choir very very soon. In Christ, David." (he drew balloons, a happy face, and more!)
