WHERE do I begin with how incomparable you are, darling sweet Inge. I could fill up this forum with prose and still feel that I hadn't said it all.

You emailed me 5 years ago, out of the blue, asking if you could join our forum because you lived in Europe and not America. How precious is that! So respectful. From that very first email, our friendship began and my life, and YLF, is richer for it.

Inge, simply put, you are beautiful inside and out. Your thoughtfulness, intuition, sensitivity, empathy, generosity of spirit, kindness, tact, diplomacy, sense of ethics, emotional intelligence and attention to detail knows no bounds. Your HUGE heart, gentle persona, modesty, humble and positive attitude, problem solving persona, creative ideas and tremendous patience are just more cherries on top. You are like the best tonic on a bad day. The magic soothing balm for the worst wound. The sunshine that gives us warmth and energy. You are an inspiration to us all and teach us to be better people each day. THANK YOU for being incomparable you.

I count myself blessed to have you as my close friend. You have been and continue to be extremely supportive of me, Greg and YLF, and my words can't express my gratitude adequately enough (*eyes watering*). It just so happens that you also work for YLF - and this community couldn't be luckier to have you at its spearhead. It *pains* me that we can't have tea together each week, but I hope that one day we will be in the position to see each other more frequently. We must always hold onto hope!

And then of course, there is your KILLER style, Urban Prince Inge with the best posture in the world! So statuesque, refined, polished, crisp, modern, chic, minimal, sassy and very Euro! It's awfully fun to share our shopping lusts and finds with each other, and it never surprises me when pin the same things! After all, we are kindred style spirits - and I love it

We hope that you have a stunning birthday, celebrate the fabness of you, get spoiled rotten, eat lots of yummy food, and have loads of fun! You are very special, and I hope that you can feel how much this community adores you. I'm the chairperson of your fan club.

lots of love

Angie, Greg, Rosie (+ Jasmine) xoxo
