Thank you for our precious friendship and for who you are. Mr. Macias&#8217; song is meant for you today, starting with your personalized &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we met, together, we have sadly seen our beloved Middle East going from one war to the next. Although we cannot change our troubled world with a magical stick, there will always be hope shining from within our shared humanity and uplifting friendship.
