Happy 24th Anniversary of your 29th Birthday!

Today is a very special day!  It's the day a wonderful mother of six gave birth to her seventh child.  I wouldn't know of this special occasion until forty-five years later, during the most difficult time of my life when I would meet a man who would change my life forever. Today is the 53rd birthday of a man who is gentle and kind.  One who has compassion and empathy.  A man who can put aside any of his own wants and needs for others, especially the ones that he loves.  He is a man who refuses to be drawn into drama, who has so much self-control and can exercise "tough love" to protect the best interest and well-being of those most important to him.  He is the "Love of My Life" ... "My Soul-Mate" ... "My Knight in Shining Armour" ... "My Everything" ... and whenever I have an opportunity to celebrate him I surely will!
