Operation Birthday Wish

Description

For my daughter's 16th birthday, instead of a big party (since we had recently moved), we reached out to friends, family, teachers, coaches, etc. etc to send her a birthday card or a birthday email. She ended up with at least 100 messages from around the globe!

Journalling reads:
Operation Birthday Wish ended up being a huge success. At first, you didn't know
what to make of the gift - a wrapped box containing a bunch of sealed envelopes. You opened a few at the restaurant, and then we headed home to tackle the rest. Dozens of cards sharing memories, sharing advice, and wishing you a sweet sixteen.
Then, when you thought you were done, you found the
card at the bottom, with a password to an email address
containing even more birthday messages. Friends, family -
even your kindergarten teacher from Fort St. John, your
first swim coach, and the librarian here at your new school -
took the time to make your 16th birthday sweet! ~ 01.17
