Well, today's the day, huh? And all my lovely sentiments have just
escaped me. Oh... How can I find words to express a simple thanks that
will never leave these messages? Shall I say simply that I find
Richard Dawson to be a very special person, who has touched my life in
a very special way? No - it is an ever-altering uncertainty, life; I
should rather say he will continue to bring a bit of sparkle to it for
as long as I exist. He makes me laugh, and even cry (and sometimes
giggle over those cute faces he pulls) - but always leaves me with
something warm and comforting. That's an ability few people are
blessed with. Perhaps I speak only for myself... but there aren't many
people I would say have had such an effect on me. I am blessed by what
little I have seen of his work, and I look forward to what more I can
see. So, with all sincerity, I wish him the most joyful of days, and a
wonderful coming year. Please forgive me for taking everyone's time.
