On the day of my birth, the wheels were set in motion, leading up to where we are today. As I have said before, I was born to love you. I was born to be by your side. I was born when you were 12 years old, almost 13. I wonder what you were doing on the day I was born. Thinking about baseball? Rock ‘n’ roll? Presents you might get on your own impending birthday?

40 years ago, there was an imperceptible shift. This shift laid the foundation for the love that we share today. You, my love, my light, my joy, my all, are the greatest birthday gift I could ever receive. Thank you for being with me today. Thank you for every day we have ever had. Thank you in advance for all there is to come.

I love you. I love to love you. I love to love loving you X infinity.
