Happy Birthday and many thanks to the man whose unflagging dedication brought us the Silmarillion.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Congratulations to Christopher, and thank you indeed for all of your tireless work in bringing your father's work to the public's eye.

A belated Happy Birthday to him — I'm quite grateful for all the work he's done, and hope he lives for many more years.

And now 84! May the rest of your years be blessed by the Valar.

And please don't be too mad at me!

Happy Birthday dear Mr.Tolkien! Thank you lots for bringing your father's unfinished work to the world, which othrrwise would have stayed unknown.

A grateful toast to CT :cheers:
There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.
