today is the best day. the very best day. because today, 38 years ago, my very best friend was born.
he's the best person i know. in so many ways. no one else that i know loves more fiercely, speaks more sincerely, forgives more freely, hugs more tightly, acts with more integrity, works more wisely, problem-solves with more tenacity, or enjoys his hobbies and fun and leisure with more peace of heart.
ben, i am blessed beyond measure to be your woman, your wife, your best friend, your co-parent (to two of the best kids there are), your sassy, your soft, your person.
and i am so grateful for you, my man, my husband, my best friend, my co-parent (the one who teaches the kids how to drive and finds ways to say things to them that i would make a mess of), my calm, my rock, my person.
happy birthday, my love! happy, happy birthday.
