Stan, you've been by my side for over half my life, which is both impressive, but also not as long as others on this card. Damn it!
I think you are an absolute gentleman. I love seeing the world through your rose coloured glasses (and whole heartedly agree!), still love sharing a tea at home or a pill on the dance floor with you, and love seeing how you lift up those around you.
You are a gold standard man, Stan.
Happy 40th ya legend!
Love ya guts, probably forever.
Dear Stan,
Happy Birthday!
Thank you for near-enough to 25 years(!) of friendship, support, genorisity, and good times. You are truly one of a kind and I feel very lucky to have been so close with you for so long.
I know we've both been very fortunate in life and haven't had too many hardships, but I know if the shit ever hits the fan, or just if the wordle was a bit tricky, I'll always have someone to chat to about it! I hope you know the same will always be true for you, too.
Thanks for being a legend, and here's hoping I'll be around to write you a similarly soppy message when we're eighty!
Paul
You're poopy bum-bum!
