letter finds you in great health and mental peace. I'm so sorry to miss your birthday party, and I hope you'll understand when I tell you that it was completely out of my hand. I know I owe you an apology , but let me first tell you that I was on my way to your home when I got a call from my daughter's school saying that she was suffering from a severe asthmatic attack.

an important event since you're my best friend, and you've been always there for me in my hard times. Anyway, I promise I'll arrange a special party only for you and me, and if you want to hold
