Sweet Darling Ornella. You've supported YLF for what seems like forever, and it's a better place because of your extraordinary spirit. You are so incredibly caring, engaged, sensitive, articulate, perceptive, and tuned into the details. It's quite surreal. You are so, so, SO thoughtful and kind about everything that you do and say, and that impresses me no end. You put your heart and warmth into all that you do, and live life with an adventurous freedom that is as organized and controlled as it is spontaneous and wild. Building a house from scratch in a strange country where you're not fluent in the language - that's WILD in my book. And very WOW. My hat of to your courage and stamina. Mr.O and Little Mr.O are two very lucky lads to have Queen Empathy in their Kingdom. You rock their world as much as you rock ours.

And through the years your incredible support for me and Greg is so very appreciated. It never goes unnoticed and we appreciate you right back. THANK YOU for being so wonderful.

And lets not forget your killer style, Queen Red, Queen Fedora, Queen White Jeans Legs That Go On For Miles, Queen Minimalism and Queen Brilliant Dark Bob. Lets also make you Princess Blue for Little Mr. O.

May you feel celebrated and special on your birthday, Ornella. I hope that you can feel our adoration because you are most deserving of it.

love
Angie
