Hey Sis,

Happy belated birthday. I hope you and yours are all doing well. I really miss you guys and I can't believe how fast time is going by. Sorry you didn't make it to DC last year. I would like to see you and catch up on everything. Dee and I are well, my travel schedule is just unbearable, for me anyway

Let me know if you're coming down this way in the spring and I will make time to get together.

love,
LLB
