Aah you wouldn't think I'd forget right! Perhaps you would've liked me to, uh-huh.

Anyway, your birthday has been noted on my computer screen for a few months now, as I know my memory and it's crap. A month or so ago I started to think of what I could do for you, and I figured I'd likely not be the only one who'd like to do something. But as it so often goes with birthdays, who actually knows eachothers? It's so difficult!

Anyway, a few other people and me wanted to wish you a very happy 20th birthday. + 204 months. Let's hope that calculation is right.

First person who wanted to share their birthday wishes with you is Calinka. Someone who I guess you only got to know a bit better recently, but someone who I've known for a long time now. I think she shares my sentiments towards you. She made a great poem about Herla ♥



Then we have Mandy! Our little SHOE. This was really a treat for me to see as well, I really like the work she put into this screenshot edit. Very much Herla.



Not everyone has drawing as their main hobby which is a good thing or else there'd be too much competition on the market for me. I teared up a little bit at Faust's writing, hope it gets you crying. She's a talented writer in my eyes.

This gift, a gift of clarity. In a world of manifold wonders, your teachings continue. To teach us of patience in your offerings of friendship, and yet, you do not stop there. Those feeling woe in their day to day, their internal light vanishes with the setting sun. And yet, it is soon reborn with a simple session in your friendship offering. You offer us a shoulder, an ear, a warm embrace, if only to lift our spirits; even just a little. Their light is reborn, just as the dandelions do after being ripped by their roots. You are wild, as you are tame, and yet you take the time to fulfill our need for a trusting companionship. You give without taking, and are more than willing to give of yourself whenever we need help. You have become an example of generosity, of compassion, and you have given us so many gifts; gifts of time, of friendship, of wisdom, of wonder, and of compassion. You've helped us to see clearly, and appreciate what we have. You've given us this gift of clarity, this gift of sight.

Happy Birthday, my friend.

And as for myself, I had a difficult time thinking of what I wanted to make you. Didn't want to make just a drawing of Herla, could do that any day. So I had to think deep. And a thought came to my mind, I know right quite amazing. Do you remember when Gehirn and Herla spoke to eachother about growing old by the side of the river, having all these grandchildren surround them? I guess I kind of went from there.



Tried to make them look older. EEH. Also guess which kid comes from who, hahaha XD Anyway, I hope you're having a nice day. And that you don't mind me not coming online until I've clicked "save".

Anyone else send her some birthday wishes too! You know you want to, you scrolled ALL THE WAY down this so you're near the add comment button now anyway!

And yes, if you want to add anything to this, do so ♥

Happy birthday love!
