Dear Inge,

I’m a little late, but my belated birthday wishes come from the heart.

I’d like to offer you my belated, heartfelt birthday wishes and hope you enjoy the best possible health and continue to find great joy with your family and your beloved crafts. Always stay optimistic and confident. Keep your eyes on the bright side of life. You have a wonderful husband, wonderful children, and wonderful grandchildren. That helps get you through many a painful, dark day. Be sure to keep your sense of humor. You’re a role model for many of us here.

And thank you for inspiring my love of sewing through your posts. It’s a hobby we share—and one that I love very much.

Warm regards from Ina
