Happy Birthday Dick!
-------------------This year has been absolute hell a lot of the time. I've noticed this year that many people have been talking about how great the past was, how easy is was. The truth is, that's what we want ourselves to think, yes

it was easier, and of course it was less stressful. Our friends were still there, and not gone. But if I am being completely honest, I wouldn't want to go back, I wouldn't want it to go back to the way it was.

Again, this year has been crazy for everyone, with going to funerals and losing our friends, mentors, teammates.

The city felt like it was crashing down around us.

Through all of it though, you still didn't quit.

This year has had loads of big memories, full of bad and good. Looking back, most of my good memories have you in them.

I'm sure many other people can say the same.

You give people hope to continue the good fight, you need to give yourself credit for more things.

So many people look up to you, even if they do a good job not showing it at times.

If anyone deserves a day off this year, it's you.

You better enjoy your Birthday.
