Happy 40th Birthday, Honey

On this very day, 40 years ago, I had one of the best days of my life (even though I was only 5 1/2 months along inside my mommy's tummy). That was the day you were born, and the day that God started preparing you to be my husband. He would give you life experiences that would more than equip you for all the things you needed to take care of me almost 30 years later.

So on this, your 40th birthday, I want to make sure you realize how much I appreciate you, how much I admire you, and how much I love you. You have changed my life for the better, and I am so proud to be your wife.

I want everyone to know how you take care of me. How we were only married for 6 WEEKS, and I ended up in the hospital for three months. How you slept on the couch to take care of me for 6 MONTHS. How you stood by me when so many others would have left.

I am so proud of you. You started a job at a basic level, and soon were out-performing everyone there, including your boss. Now you ARE the boss, and the City may never realized how lucky they are to have you. I thank God every day that you are such a wonderful provider.

You are my best friend, and my heart's desire. You are the love of my life. I am so grateful you chose me. I pray that we have at least 40 more years to be together, to love each other, and celebrate each other.

You are amazing, honey. You are everything I could ever need or ask for in a man. I love you with all of my heart, and I only wish you could see yourself through my eyes....for then, you would see a miracle.

I love you, babe.
Happy Birthday,
Sweet Pea
