Dear Amy,


I hope your birthday kicks ass!!! I would love to add to all these beautiful pictures of you, but unfortunately my photos are all in a box in my grandma's basement at the moment & I am about 9,000 miles away from them. I am wishing you happy birthday from the central mountains of japan, and I hope you know how many people all around the world love you and think you are simply F***ing awesome!! :D I think it's somewhere near a billion. Our time knowing each other in person was relatively short, but in those 9 months, you always made me smile and made me laugh and I always enjoyed your company. I'm so lucky I got to have you in my group for our travels to South Africa! I know you are a beautiful and brilliant young woman and I look up to you a lot! I wish I had more of a chance to get to know you even better but I am thankful for the time I had so far, and I hope you really feel how special you are on this day, and that you never lose sight of that! I love you and I miss you and I hope you have an awesome day, weekend, and year ahead!! <3 <3 <3


love, 
Amber Echevarria
