Oh, Happy Birthday!! (I don't trust myself to remember to stop by tomorrow.) It's wonderful to be so loved, and I myself can see from just the few exchanges we've had that you are A Person Who So Deserves It, as a terrifically lovely and generous individual!
As far as I'm concerned, youth is greatly overrated. Give me wisdom and grace any day, which for most of us only come with more than a few years passing. I do know I'm much more joyful and peaceful in my forties than I have been at any other time of my life, and this with being home all day with three young children, two of them with special needs. Something about experience that makes everything become deeper and richer and more fulfilling... Not that I'm biased or anything. :)
Besides, it just adds to the storehouse of experiences that you will hopefully write about! In Tolkien's world, please? Not that I've been able to find time to read any fanfic lately, but for the benefit of the world, you know.
The cake really tops it as a perfect gift. The white tree and everything... Wow. Do you have a little Faramir/Eowyn that could be on the walls? Maybe a sized-down cut-out of Anke Eissmann's kiss? And Prince Imrahil, and Heth, and Elrohir and Andra?? LOL, you can see I'd be populating the whole thing with the Unabeauverse. *g*
