My very dear brother. Here I signed on so early, hoping to start your birthday thread, and then realize that SC beat me to it!!

How is it possible that you PMd me just a few years ago and encouraged me to come to NJ and meet you all?? And now I get to celebrate the May birthday of someone who I've come to care so much about.

Happy birthday, caro fratello!! Many, many more, DC!! You're a true friend, and I don't know what I'd do without you!!! Tanti baci!!
