*** Aether has joined 018.07.154.55 <Aether> Hello. You have reached Lusamine Mendel. <Aether> Please leave a message, and I will get back to you shortly.
[Some time passes before she deems it complete and sends it neatly arranged in a single message:]
"Dearest Beat,
Happy birthday and many happy returns. Unusual though the circumstances may have been, I will be forever grateful that this world allowed us to meet and share this special day together. Your presence has made my time here that much brighter, and I hope there is much more of it to come.
You are such a strong person, with great compassion and patience to match. Every day you inspire me with the way you love so selflessly. But take care to offer that same gentleness to yourself as well. Should you forget, I am sure that all of your friends will remind you of it, too.
I am inexpressibly proud to call you my son. Be well, and remember that I am always here for you.
With all of my love, Mom"
I hope this will do. Thank you again for setting all of this up, Joshua. It is always heartening to see how attentive you are toward him. Please do let me know if there is any way I can be of more help with the preparations. I already have a gift picked out as well.
