Ciri's Birthday

Today is my friend Ciro's birthday. Ciro is from Italy. He's a friend of mine that I met online. We also practice the same Nichiren Buddhism. Our friendships have connected even though I haven't met him in person. I am so happy to receive this email he wrote to me.

This morning, day of my birthday, as soon as I wake up, my sister has brought in my room a letter.I have opened the letter and I have found inside your jewel gift! You Have used some words that them deeply touched me! I want to thank you from the depth of my heart!
It has been as if you had reached from the america my house. I have realized that u were here indeed! Your Ichinen is very strong!
Which good causes will I ever have put in any given life for meeting a friend as you in this existence?
I feel i'm not to succeed in paying my debt of gratitude!!!
Thank you Mikey, thanks so much!
warm warm HUGS* Ciro
