2003 :: Birthday Wishes for Clay

[LiftClayUp]

Happy Birthday!!!

May you continue to "shine"........I have enjoyed your performances from AI through now.    May you continue to sing with such joy.  That joy has given me very much pleasure.

For your birthday I wish you many blessings and will pray that your path will always be smooth.

An ardent fan,
Carol

 Happy Birthday, Clay.  I hope that your 25th birthday finds you surrounded by lots of love, peace, and contentment.  You are such a special man, Clay.  You have no idea how many people you have touched through your music and by just being "Clay".  We live in a very difficult world these days, and to see a celebrity embrace their status in a way that benefits others is such beautiful thing to watch.  Others stars have done this, but it seemed like it was part of your mission from day one.  To make a difference for the better....it appears to be more important to you than fame, material things, and the other star trappings of celebrity life.  You are simply showing the world that "image is nothing, and heart is everything".   I read that somewhere and I like that statement.  You are a gorgeous young man, but your heart is the most beautiful thing about you (and we can't forget your angelic voice).  Looks fade with age, but great character never does.  I hope that you will find the means to exercise all of your gifts in life: teaching, the Bubel-Aiken Foundation, and singing/ recording.  I pray that you can find a way to "do it all" .  I want to hear you sing for the rest of my days, and the special people (autism/disabilities) need your advocacy, as well.  Congratulations on your upcoming graduation; you certainly know how to follow through on your goals in life.  Finally, I wish that you find love, and have all the joy a family of your own will bring you.  The qualities that you posess will make you a wonderful husband and father some day (little Raleigh will have to do for now!)  :D  Clay, you are an inspiration, don't ever change, and always know in your heart how much your fans love you.....simply because you are "you".  PS. Clay, guess what I'm getting for my next birthday?  Two tickets to your future solo tour concert stop in Canada (please, please come to Canada).  Get ready to raise your hand to catch; I'll be the one throwing kisses to you from the audience (HaHa).  And I just know that Santa (my husband) will be putting "Solitaire" in my Xmas stocking.  See Clay, I follow through on my goals too!  Green is for the color of your beautiful eyes and  :D represents your captivating smile.  Keep on singing Clay.   Love you in bunches, my Angel.        From Liana, Fellow Teacher

Hi Clay, I wish you a Very Happy Birthday celebrated with your family and friends.  You deserve all the good fortune that has happened to you so far.  You have given all of us, your fans, so much.  Your voice, your compassion, your strong moral beliefs, your wholesomeness which is so needed in this time, your smile.  For me, when I see your face and hear your voice it brings a smile to my face and puts me in a good mood.  So Clay once again Happy Birthday.  Sharon

Dear Clay -  It is YOUR  birthday, but you have given US the best gift ever.   It is an absolute joy to be counted as one of your fans.  You are the "total package" - talent, intelligence, kindness, class and a goofy sense of humor!  Then we get the "bonus" - you are absolutely adorable.  

Happy Birthday.   May all of your wishes come true for your professional life and your personal life.   You deserve the very best.

God has bestowed many blessings upon you, dear Clay...and through His grace and through our prayers, may you receive these birthday wishes.

We hold you in high esteem and have total devotion and love for you...You the PERSON, not just you the star!

Your virtues are numerous, your character admirable and your talent enormous. You are a gentleman full of kindness, devotion, strong Christian faith
and refreshing humbleness.

God has certainly blessed us all with a wonderful gift...an ANGEL here on earth...YOU!  We have always seen God twinkling through the stars in the sky, but, now we also see Him through the Twinkling in your beautiful eyes.

On your birthday and always, may you continue to be showered with    God's greatest blessings...health, happiness,success and especially love.

Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
