Still, the milestone had to be marked. __4__ wasn't going to let her get away with a Stouffer's frozen dinner and a movie video, __5__ was all she said she wanted. I thought and thought, and __6__ making my decision, I sent a letter to her friends, asking them for photos, poems, and letters. "Carol doesn't __7__ a party in person…but I'm hoping to __8__ her a party in a book." I bought a(n)__9__ with a friend's advice, and what I wanted __10__. For a few minutes at the end of every workday, I __11__ pull out the marking pens and make up the __12__, Carol's. Photos of her in junior high, pictures of us __13__ the boys, original songs, notes, cards, and poems. It made me __14__ for all the years we had had together. The __15__ was more than the album. It was the friendship and love she had given to me, to our kids and to all her friends and family. You could __16__ it on every page. I wrapped it up and __17__ it home. "Happy birthday, sweetie," I said. "It's not a frozen dinner or a video, but it's __18__ you deserve." She cried. She doesn't __19__ like to cry, but I think she likes the book.
