Wow I love your page! Exquisite artwork and I love how encouraging you are to other artists. I'm inspired. Thank you.
Hey there lovely lady. I love you so much and I'm so thankful to have had you for my best friend and soul mate. I'm very lucky. I'm also very heartbroken over losing you. There's a void in my life where you were that will forever remain your space. "Because the paths to the Lord are inscrutable
Because the essence of His forgiveness
Lies in His word and in His mystery
Because although God sends us the message
It is our task to decipher it
Because when we open our arms
The earth takes in only a hollow and senseless shell
Far away now is the soul in its eternal glory
Because it is in pain that we find the meaning of life
And the state of grace that we lose when we are born
Because God, in His infinite wisdom, puts the solution in our hands
And because it is only in His physical absence
That the place He occupies in our souls is reaffirmed"
I requested an artist to draw your trinkets this morning. Think you could pull some strings for me? I love and miss you so much. Thank you for being born as the beautiful human called Shelby and gracing us with your presence. Thank you for all the amazing art and music you left for us. Happy birthday Shelby.
Hey again. Last year for your birthday I did some collaborative art projects with some people that love you and I drank some southern comfort like we did when you came to my house for my birthday that first time.
The year before that I came to your house carrying oranges and cookies and peppermint bark and books and I jumped in your bed and kissed you all over your beautiful face.
Now I don't really know what to do. I feel like crying.
Anyway. I'm really thankful that you were born and I'm so lucky to have known you. Thank you for being my friend and everything that you taught me. I sure do miss you.
Happy birthday old friend. I love you.
Thank you happy birthday
Dear Shelby, 30 years ago today, you were born into this bright beautiful cold terrifying world and placed into a womans arms and she called you. She called you Shelby.
That's what calls you... when someone says Shelby...
