I enjoyed this poem so much. Congratulations on milestone 200 Debi. You are so prolific! You have managed to tell us so much about Terry in your delightful rhymes. I always enjoy posts that help me know someone better. This definitely does that. Well done.

Terry is one of the special, standout individuals here on FanStory. He says he has retired from writing, but he's snuck a few goodies in for us this year, which people like me appreciate.

Happy birthday, Terry. You are a favorite of so many here.

Thanks for sharing, Debi!

Congratulations on your milestone post, Debi! What a lovely birthday tribute to Terry--I'm sure he loved it. Now maybe you can coax him out of his writing 'retirement.' Thanks for sharing.

Hey sis one more time you've taken the time to celebrate the life of the FanStory family. There's no one like you that brings to life the proclivities and idiosyncrasies of your fellow creatives. So well done from the first word to the last.

And if you could send your birthdate I would sure appreciate it. I am asking those that I know the best and closest to, as it would be impossible to do everyone.

You show wisdom in those you choose, being born in April, how could we lose? Many of us are destined for greatness, the others are blessed by association. Those born after April 20, are okay I guess, just not as blessed as those of us born before.

Hey you! You are feeling kinda good about it since you are on this side of your birthday now! You are right tho, you are blessed and so am I.. We have a fun kind of sibling rivalry that I wouldn't trade for anything. You are awesome sweet brother.
