My Dear Jeffrey,

You know that writing letters is not really my thing... But I am doing this for you not because you told me, but because it is something that really comes from my heart and of course to wish you...HAPPY BIRTHDAY um

I wish I could be with you right now to celebrate this special day and give you a very, very, very BIG HUG. I would like to make you happy and do something more, but unfortunately the distance between us makes it a bit difficult... Next time I will do better ! So for now I can only express my sincere gratitude through this letter to say

how much I love you and how much you made me happy ! Thank you so much for believing in me, supporting me, and guiding me to grow in a better person. Thank you for being so generous with me but most of all thank you for giving me your time. As you told me you can't buy time and I appreciate this so much. It is the greatest gill I could ever receive from you. Meeting you was a serendipity and maybe one of the best things that happened in my whole life. I wish I could have met you before ! I could spend hours and hours just listening to you. I know I have a long way to go and I am far to be perfect, but if you can help me by teaching me things, it would be for me one of the most enriching experiences ever because learning from someone like you it is not only a pleasure but a great privilege.

Jeffrey, you can't imagine the joy that you gave me by providing me moral support and real happiness. You have become my everything. I can't wait to see you in Paris for an other exciting adventure ! I am sure we will have a great time together... and this is just the beginning I now you are a good person and I also strongly believe that you are the greatest man I ever met (but you know that already) . Maybe I will forget about asking myself the question " why are you doing all this for me " and just accept it the way it is. THANK YOU Jeffrey for everything you did and what you are still doing... and never forget that from now on you have a crazy Italian girlfriend that will always be there for you. Love.

ps: Remember... The first 60 years of childhood are always the worst !
