You bring us up with predictability. Always there to add a welcomed, often needed push. You have helped to make the simplest events happenings. In times of anxiety you cut the intensity.

During big celebrations you know how to join a room and get everyone up there doing the Hokey Pokey, the slide or the cha-cha -cha.

It was clearly love at first sight. You are our go to as you ask nothing in return. In the absence of judgement you give us a leg up. We rely on your encouragement. When we are together we let you boss us around. Our biggest responsibility when we meet up is not to fall.

Anytime we’ve dared try to abuse you, we woke up with extreme regrets and vowed never do it again. Whatever we adorn you with is just fine. A lemon, an olive, a pearl onion- you’re cool, you know who you are. At times when we have been fickle, you waited and knew your appeal would win out. Thank you for adding this unrequited dimension to our lives. #Stoli you rock! Make it a Bloody and Bagels kind of day.
