You guys I just wanted to tell you all a big thank you for your birthday wishes for my DS yesterday. As you all have probably realize (ad nauseum)

he is the sun in my day. I printed off your birthday wishes and put them in an envelope to give him with his gifts last night. He was pleased and a overwhelmed that so many people he didn't even know would take the time to wish him well! That meant a lot to him AND me.
Coincidentally he brought home a letter from his new basketball coach that SOOOOOO fits the friendship that we share I think on this board==
It is from Rudyard Kipling' Second Jungle...
"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack."
I know that I gain a lot of strength each day from checking in with you all. Thanks again!!!
