Happy 50th Birthday to my sister and my best friend. ❤️

I’m so grateful that we’ve grown up side by side through all of our ups and downs together! You have the biggest heart, and you’re always the first to show up when someone needs you. That’s just one of the many reasons you’re so loved.

I hope today reminds you how much you mean to all of us. Thank you for being the incredible sister, friend, and person that you are.

I love you more than words can say. Happy 50th Missy!

Michele Desbiens· Sister

Happy birthday, Melissa! It has been so nice meeting you, and I am looking forward to working with you 😊

Delaney Hart · Glasstown Brewery

Happy 50th Birthday, Melissa!🥂

From kindergarten days to 50 years young, you've always been that girl—the one everyone wanted to be friends with, the one always sitting on the teacher's lap in class pictures (clearly the favourite 😂), and later, the one all the boys had a crush on!

Micheline Rogina · Fan since 1981

Melissa 50 comes fast, doesn’t it. Life in general can be a tornado at times. But it’s in the eye of the storm where I see you the most and always have. You have always been a fierce and strong person that won’t take no for an answer. You are incredibly stubborn and relentlessly driven to prove doubters wrong, which has been evident in all of your business aspirations.

Ryan Taylor· Charlies Dad

Happy 50th Birthday, Aunt Missy! 🎉

Fifty looks amazing on you… mostly because you don’t look a day over 29! Here’s to another year of making us laugh, keeping everyone on their toes, and proving that 50 is just 18 with way better stories! Haha.

We hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and fun. Happy Birthday to the coolest aunt we know! Love Emma, Jesse and Rex

Emma Romyn · Neice

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!

Charlotte Collie · Matt's Mom

Happy 50th Melissa!!

RMC day 2 finding out we were second cousins. I always felt like we were more than just best friends, and we are. We are family!! You and Angela made my teenage years the best ever!! I have many memories of amazing times full of laughter and happiness.

Erin Higgin· Fan since 1990

Happy 50th Birthday, Mom! ❤️

I hope today reminds you just how loved and appreciated you are. You’ve always been one of the hardest-working and most selfless people I know. No matter what was going on, you always put everyone else first and somehow made it all look effortless. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our family and for always being someone we could count on. The love, sacrifices, and support you’ve given over the years have meant more than I could ever put into words. I hope this next chapter brings you as much happiness as you’ve brought to everyone around you. You deserve a day that’s all about you.

Happy 50th. I love you so much. ❤️

Brett Rennie· Fan since birth

Happy birthday, Mel!!!! It's been so awesome getting to know you and work with you!!! You're kicking ass! ❤️

Ashley Eastcott· Glasstown Brewery

Happy 50th Birthday, Melissa!

Love how small the world is. Darlin’s your song?? WILD. I’m honoured to be a part of your soundtrack.

Hope you have a great time celebrating this epic milestone with a Crüe concert!

Fuck yeah, 50!!

Andrea Wasse· Nightjacket

Happy birthday mom!

You are one of a kind because you can do anything you put your mind to. You are the most resilient person I know. I can’t wait to see you become a surgeon one day after all the Grey’s Anatomy you watched.

Charlie Taylor· Fan since birth

Melissa… Welcome to the 50 Club! 🎉

From sleepovers, house parties, bush bashes, bowling alleys, cruising around, and hanging out with our huge group of friends at each other’s houses… to somehow making it all the way to our 50s. What an adventure it’s been! Growing up with you was nothing short of amazing. Our high school years were legendary, and they simply wouldn’t have been the same without you and Erin. The Three Amigos forever! ❤️

Angela MacIsaac-Skladanowski· Fan since 1990

We are so thankful that you came into our lives and became such an important part of our family. You bring so much love, laughter, and happiness to everyone around you, and we truly can't imagine life without you.

Charlotte Collie · Matt's Mom

Happy 50th, Melissa!

From grade 9 science disecting "arfems" (earthworms), we had lots of laughs through high school days. You and I crashed into each other in the NICU for the early entry of Hunter & Ben. I can't believe they're headed to high school now and here we are at 50 and still friends. Here's to many happy returns! Happy Birthday!

Joe (Pure Renewable Energy) Karr· Fan since 1990

Rarely have I ever seen you down and out or give up on people or yourself! You are one of the most resilient people I’ve ever met. On the outside you give unconditionally to people that need it the most, but often forget to give it to yourself. You are selfless, and kind, genuine, and compassionate, and anyone that has experienced even the shortest of interactions with you leave feeling better about themselves in some way shape or form.

Ryan Taylor· Charlies Dad

Happy birthday, Melissa! I’m so glad I’ve gotten to meet you and can’t wait to work with you for the rest of the time I’m going to be here!! :)

Trent DeMars · Glasstown Brewery

I still laugh remembering when we reconnected in high school and I excitedly yelled, “Missy!” only to see your embarrassed face as you quickly corrected me: “It’s Melissa now!” 😂 Little did I know I had just used your kindergarten name in front of your cool highschool-self!

Micheline Rogina · Fan since 1981

To the best aunt ever, have the happiest birthday!!!

Ethan Desbiens· Nephew

Over the Hill and still standing tall! The early days as just cool acquaintances, then constantly being the in the same place, and lastly the three sistas (angela and erin) the friendship that has endure over many decades. You with the baby bump (the first of our group, quite an accomplishment) which kinda set us on different paths. The creativity and amazing accomplishment with "Love of Laundry", a slight reunion, even though we were apart, we still remained connected. Now, turning 50 (hahah your older than me now) and still the same, kind, friendly, loving person you always were. Wishing you the Happiest of 50 Birthdays and many more.

Ed Kocet · Fan since 1990

Happy freaking 50th! Welcome to the club! Hope you have an absolutely fantastic day! Don't forget to curtsy Motley Crew!

Steve Marek · Glasstown Brewery

Happy Birthday Missy!! You have kept me on my toes for 50 years!!! I can hardly wait until you call me and tell me one of your kids has snuck off to GB for the weekend….LOL All kidding aside, you have been a wonderful daughter and I will love you forever!! xoxo

Patti Mitchell · Mom

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!

Charlotte Collie · Matt's Mom

Happiest birthday wishes, Mellisa!

I’m so grateful for our paths crossing in our high school days, but I am especially grateful that they have crossed in our “adult” stage of life! Meeting you again in a random hotel pool was a beautiful gift!

Celebrating all of your 50 years of awesome!

Love you!💜

Kim Wilson · Fan since 1990

Happiest Birthday Melissa

It has been awesome getting to know you. You're a ray of sunshine, and I look forward to many laughs at your expense. I will never look at a priest the same way again.

Nicole Wadsworth· Glasstown Brewery

Happy birthday Melissa! I hope you have a wonderful day! Enjoy your new wisdom and giving way less of a shit. And enjoy the naps.

Andrew McVeigh· Fan since 1990

Our friendship was built on nonstop laughs, inside jokes, and the kind of laughter that had us crying… or, let’s be honest, occasionally peeing our pants. 😂 I’m still trying to figure out how we managed to pass school. Did we actually attend class, or did we just wander the halls looking for our next adventure? Then there are all the stories… the ones we can tell, and the many, many ones we absolutely cannot mention! 🤐 Let’s just say it’s a miracle we’re all still alive! Somehow we survived the 90s with enough stories to last a lifetime. 🥂

Angela MacIsaac-Skladanowski· Fan since 1990

Sharing Charlie and watching him grow into the incredibly talented and beautiful soul that he is has been a remarkable experience and gift. Being able to see so much of you in him reminds me of how incredibly lucky I am to know that he will continue to thrive and make a mark on the world just as you have.

Thank you for being a great mama bear to our son. I look forward to many more years of watching him grow together as friends.

Ryan Taylor· Charlies Dad

Happy Birthday, Melissa!

We are so happy you and Matt have reconnected. You’ve brought something out in Matt I haven’t seen in a long time. It’s the same expressions, love and happiness I see on your face when you look at him.

Some things never change—you’re still beautiful inside and out, someone people naturally gravitate toward, and a person who makes an impression wherever you go.

Charlotte Collie · Matt's Mom

Your first 50 years have been epic, but just wait till they get a load of your next 50 as CEO of Newman Enterprises. Please consider Alberta for a branch location. Stay young and restless forever, Melissa!

Aaron & Amy Taylor · Fans since 1990

I remember one night the three of us were sleeping over at Angela’s house, and we were bored so dabbled in some substances that of course we never should have and frankly sometimes I think about it, and I’m so surprised we are all still alive and healthy. lol. Anyway this night we did what we did, and Melissa made the best save ever by catching Angela’s light fixture in her room when it began to fall on our heads. Melissa leaped like I’ve never seen her leep and jump before. Thanks for saving us Melissa, and I hope you have the best 50th Birthday and many more to come. Love you always cousin 😊❤️

Liner Notes

Fifty things. One per year. Written by the president of the fan club.

  1. We're the same.
  2. You're my best friend. Ever. No offense to everyone else, but there isn't even a close second.
  3. When you say I love you babe, without a sound.
  4. Our first date after the reunion wasn't just our first date. It was the day our lives changed forever.
  5. You make me laugh harder than anyone ever has. Sometimes so hard I can't breathe.
  6. Your kindness. It isn't something you do. It's who you are.
  7. The way you say my name.
  8. You knew me at 16, and you chose me anyway at 50.
  9. You laugh at my worst jokes. Not the good ones. The worst ones.
  10. You're 300km away... and somehow you're still closer to me than anyone else.
  11. Good morning texts. Every single day. Never missed.
  12. I never have to wonder whose side you're on. It's always mine.
  13. Watching you order at a restaurant. I don't know why. It just makes me happy.
  14. That week at the Barndominium. I'd relive it a hundred times if I could.
  15. You're the puzzle piece, behind the couch that makes the sky complete ;).
  16. We waited 35 years, but somehow it still feels like we were always meant to find each other.
  17. The laughs. Again... Oh. My. God. The laughs.
  18. You never make me feel stupid for not knowing something.
  19. How you fit against me like it was measured.
  20. Every memory from 1990 onward got retroactively better the day we got together.
  21. Somehow you find my nerd projects charming instead of concerning.
  22. It doesn't matter what we're doing. Even sitting on the couch watching TV with you feels magical.
  23. Your entreprenurial spirit.
  24. You always choose kindness. Even when I think a situation deserves criticism, you inevitably choose kindness instead.
  25. How much you love my singing.
  26. Falling in love with you didn't feel like starting something new. It felt like coming home.
  27. How "I'll let you go" always means at least twenty more minutes.
  28. How fiercely you love the people you love.
  29. I love that our teeth are crooked in exactly the same way.
  30. Chatting with you all day and night into the wee hours of the morning and it feels like no time has passed at all.
  31. I get to say "remember when" about four different decades.
  32. The face you make when you're trying not to laugh and losing.
  33. You remember versions of me I'd forgotten existed.
  34. You've never once made me feel weird for talking about Raspberry Pis at dinner.
  35. Goodbyes are terrible. But nobody has ever made hellos better.
  36. You make everyone in a room feel like they matter.
  37. My phone lighting up with your name is still the best part of any ordinary day.
  38. How you think I can "fix" anything.
  39. How the last hour before I see you is somehow longer than the whole drive.
  40. How you make me always feel so confident.
  41. Your tattoos.
  42. How we can talk about absolutely anything... and somehow always understand each other.
  43. Planning trips with you is almost as good as taking them.
  44. Van life.
  45. My life isn't just better because of you. It's immeasurably better.
  46. The thought of growing old with you.
  47. I finally understand what people mean when they say "the rest of my life."
  48. That time at the marigold.
  49. You're the first person I want to tell when literally anything happens.
  50. You're the only person who can completely derail my train of thought with nothing more than a simple look.
