(From an old birthday card)

My little darling (one of the three),

Birthdays are especially important for you children. Proudly you present your fingers indicating your age, proclaiming with your head held up high, “I am five years old!”

For me as your mother this day will always be connected with the day of your birth - every pain, every second, the waiting for you: Wednesday, 20:20, 53 cm and 4450 g.

Happy Birthday does not express what I feel for you!

I love you endlessly,

Mum
