HAPPY BIRTHDAY RITCHIE!!!... and yes, i agree... you SHOULD celebrate your 25th birthday with a BANG! but not much, OK? fyi for my readers (if there's more than one out there!), Ritchie is like the little brother i never had... he is a sweet boy... he is also wide open with his opinions, points of view... and i love how he painted his car dashboard with white enamel paint... as you see he's also creative... in a tech sort of way (hehehe)... but anyways, on a more serious note...

i cherish you Ritchie because God gave you to me in my life, to share my experiences, influence my decisions, be there... i honor you today on your birthday, and i wish for you the best things God has prepared for you... i pray you seek His plan today, and see the wonders of His love and power unfold in your life... i hope you get the wall of pictures up soon (so you can tell me how to make mine --the photos are still locked up somewhere; i can't remember)... i hope that your day today be a special day, guided by the light of Christ... (i also wish you quit sucking up that nico-stick! i'd like to remember my buddy Ritchie without lung cancer in the near future)... and lastly i hope and pray that in your heart you find forgiveness a space... if i or anyone else have ever hurt you in any way... God bless you!
