Happy happy birthday!

Happy birthday to pameladean -- hope it's a good one! (Or at least as good as possible, under the circumstances.)

Thank you so much! I knew I was unlikely to be able to see my mother and brother this year, but didn't expect not to have David and Lydy around either. We're all still here for broader values of "here" and that will have to be good enough. It was in no way guaranteed.

Many happy returns!

(All may yet be very well.)

[pameladean]

Thank you! And I hope it may. (I remember trying to come up with that phrase. It's anodyne enough, but I had a lot of trouble with it.)

I thought it rang true as a folk saying, and you put a lot of context to it.

Having trouble with it seems most entirely plausible.
