Dear Tuong,

It's that time of year again,

the time where we all get together and celebrate your birthday.

Although I'm 5,949 miles away,

and I wasn't able to partake

in the in-person festivities,

I hope that this makes up for it...

Whenever I see you around on campus,

your ear-to-ear smile always brightens up my mood

and I can always count on you to to make me laugh.

I'm glad that we've been able to

build our tolerance to horror movies together...

and to many more nights of

going all the way to GovCo...

just to hide under the covers.

I hope you continue to find happiness in the little things in life,

keep your spirits high

fill your life with the best memories.

Happy 19th Birthday!

See you soon....
