Carole 29th March 2011

Your 30th birthday is a special birthday, it means that , yes,you really are a grown up now ! You're not here for that birthday Andy and it's so unfair, so not right, so sad that you're not. We all drank a toast to you at your special place in Cornwall, by all I mean, us 'outlaws' Cas & Malc, Dunc, Dawn & Jack, your mom & dad, Kate, Darren & Rebekkah, and of course your darling Elayne & precious little man Michael. We shared stories about you, we laughed at some and we cried more and we missed you being there. We talk to Michael about you all the time, when Elayne is most upset he seems to know why she's crying and will wipe her tears and say "daddy ?". He's growing so fast, learning new words all the time, your dad is 'grumps' Elayne's dad is 'daddad' uncle Duncan is 'Duncle'(cute eh)and Ekhaba (guess who that is!) I'm glad Elayne took you back to that special place it means you'll always be there when we go back there. Happy Birthday Andy xxx
