Happy Birthday Appa

  One of a kind  ·  2026

You never needed to try to be the funniest person in the room.
You'd just show up, say something, and that was it.
51 years in and you'll still get a parrot on your head
like it was always part of the plan.
We love you more than we say. Happy birthday, Appa.

The thing about you is you actually enjoy your life.
Not the idea of it the actual thing.

— something we all noticed

With love

Always  ·  from us

You showed us what it looks like to actually enjoy your life.
Not someday. Not once things calm down.
Right now, exactly as it is, wherever you happen to be.
That's the thing we'll carry.
