You are loved, you are missed terribly, and you are never ever out of our hearts. Happy Birthday to my oldest and dearest friend. I'm elated to have known you through so many phases, and to have seen you become an amazing mother over the last year. You are inspiring, brave, and strong, and you have the biggest heart and soul I have ever ever seen. I am so glad you are with us for your birthday!

We celebrated Anjie last night at Ivy and Robijn's beautiful new spot in Oakland. They made tacos, and we made more memories. Anjie, you are the best excuse to come together!
