It’s my husband’s birthday! And each year for the last several years, this space has been my birthday card to him.

He’s so deserving of being celebrated!

He is literally the only constant in my life. Family, and I use that term loosely, was never a consistent presence in my life. And friends have come and gone. He has been by my side since….our first date 39 years ago!

He’s a quiet gentle presence in the lives of those he loves. But if/when needed, he shows up in any and every way ready to support! There’s never a doubt about him having your back. He does!

He’s kind and genuine and a total goofball at heart. And that’s precisely why all children and all animals love him immediately. They sense his massive heart!

I’m the lucky one in this relationship. I always say that I hit the jackpot when I met him. And I still believe that.

Happy Birthday Don….May all the good that you put out into the world return to you tenfold. And may you always remember what a gift you truly are to anyone fortunate enough to know you!

I love you 💜
