40 candles (on your favorite cake)

40 singles (i wish you this and many more)

40 drinks (on me of course)

40 good reasons to keep going (new beginnings are always the best even though it's hard to write the end)

40 more amazing years

Hope to meet you again when you'll turn 40 something... 

 

Happy birthday

 

Catherine
