To My Daughter-in-law, Diane, who turns thirty-three today, January 18th.

Happy Birthday Diane - May three be your lucky number, as in the third time is always a charm. Three times six equals eighteen, as in January 18th. Three is the first of four perfect numbers - 3, 7, 10 and 12. Three denotes divine perfection. Three is the number in the Godhead; three times the Seraphim cried “Holy, Holy, Holy” (Isaiah 6:3). All time is divided into three parts - Past, Present and Future. On telephone keypads, the “3″ key is also associated with the letters “D” for Diane. You were married in 2003 to a man with three names from a family of three boys. You have three children, a family of three girls. Two threes = 33. And … a tricycle always has three wheels.
