Today is a big day. It is the Love of my Life's 40th Birthday. For the purpose of this blog I shall refer to him by the name of C. C was born July 31, 1973. His loving parents figured that he was such a blessing in their lives that they decided to stop there and not have any more children after that. One thing that I know for certain is that when people say that only children are "spoiled" I would vehemently disagree. I would like to think of them as saturated. Children are sponges. So they absorb everything around them. Only children absorb a huge amount of love, caring and kindness. It saturated his every cell and now it continuously pours out to all who are around him. I can only wish that for our Daughter.
My Dearest C,
Today is your 40th birthday. Here we are celebrating another milestone together. May this trend continue on for many, many more years. As I would like to build a tradition of the birthday letter, here is mine to you. I bet you are happy that I kept it private and only posted it on my blog.
My entire life changed on April 18th, 2009. I remember being so excited to meet you. Waiting at the door for you to pick me up for our first lunch date. Little did I know that I would be waiting for you for many, many years to come. I am sure glad that you are worth the wait. I like to believe that one of the reasons you were brought into my life was to show me patience and to teach me to slow down and smell the roses. That first lunch date was amazing. I will be forever indebted to Bobbi for introducing us.
You have brought so many good things into my life. It is improbable that I would be able to put them all into a single birthday letter. Good thing that I will have many more birthdays to share with you.
You are kind. So incredibly kind. And I am so glad that this trait has started rubbing off on me. You show that kindness to perfect strangers, to your family, and essentially all living things. You even catch and release flies and bugs that come into the house.
You are a pillar of strength and support. Even when we were first barely dating you refused to let me be unhappy. Urged me to "do whatever makes me happy." Even when that ended up meaning you were stuck paying the bills. LOL. Truth be told you still do. I promise that will change one day soon, very soon. You are an amazing Husband and Father. I couldn't even begin to put into words how grateful I am to have you in my life. I cannot wait until you take steps to further your journey. To really spend time creating and cultivating your dream. I know that what ever dream you choose to chase will be wonderful. And it will be a blessing that will reach countless people. I hope you don't take too long to figure it out as it seems almost selfish for me to keep you all to myself.
I love you. To the Moons of Jupiter and Back. May your 40th year be filled with love, laughter, health and wealth. May the sun always shine upon your face. May we spend many, many more years together. All my Love,
Your Adoring Wife,
Lisa
