Love Letters
Love letters have always been an important and precious part of my life. Some of you have received such letters from me, and some of those I have received from you in turn have profoundly move and affected me. Today I write my first public love letter, not to any particular person, but to all of you her today. I only hope you do not compare me to the bachelor who once bought two dozen Valentine cards on which was printed, "To my one and only."
Dear friends, firstly, let m thank you all for being here tonight. I know that you have made the effort, knowing how important today is for me. Being true friends, I know the two things I can count on your presence for, are my wedding and my funeral. But I may never get married, and I won't be around to enjoy my funeral, so I though the birthday when I celebrate the big 5-0, when I mark half a century on this planet, was the next best thing.
More seriously, I wanted to thank you all, not just for tonight, but for being such big parts of my life in the past several years. Some of you have know me for decades, others have met me recently. But all of you have in some way changed and enriched my life - with your company, your good humor, your hopes and dreams, your problems and worries, yes even the sacrifices and hurts we caused each other as the price of our friendship.
