Our dearest Durai Athan,
It is absolutely wonderful that that you will be celebrating your
90th birthday in India on May 13th surrounded by family and friends.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you on that special day, but meanwhile, we wish you a very happy birthday and our Lord’s blessings on you so that you will continue to be such an inspiration and blessing to all who know you. We cannot be there to celebrate your birth-DAY but are looking forward to having the privilege of spending some time with you during your 90th birth-YEAR!

Over the years we have always enjoyed hearing you tell us about your account of your experience of getting out of Burma. It is a good thing you that you have documented it in your autobiographical report for posterity as it will remain an inspiration to those who read it! That same relentless determination and persistence, that same untiring honest hard work, that same positive attitude filled with faith in the Lord with the hope that He would take care of you and bring you to safety that guided you then, has continued to guide you in all that you have done through all these decades of your life. You have indeed lived a purpose-driven life.
We pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly, so that you will continue to be a role model to us and an inspiration to many, in the decade ahead.
Go hit a century, dearest Durai Athan.
With our love, prayers and special birthday kisses,
Murphy and Indra
