Today is my lovely and loving wife Glenda's birthday. I'm very excited to celebrate this first birthday together. And, of course, I wish for many, many more.
This morning I sat and watched the snow fall, drinking a hot cup of coffee that She Who Completes Me prepared, as usual. I thought of how very important she is to me, and how lucky I am to have her in my life. I thought of how empty and dull my life had become when I was alone, and how much more fulfilling it is, now that we're together.
I am a very lucky man to have someone with whom to share my days, especially because Glenda believes so strongly in me, and in the things I hope to do. Every day she offers amazingly deep support and comfort. Often, she is the first to give feedback on something I plan to do, or something I've written. Glenda keeps me grounded and balanced. She strengthens my faith in myself when it is weak. When times are difficult, she reminds me of the purpose behind the work - the vision and the mission that drives me.
For all these reasons and many more, I'm going to work my hardest to make this a special day for her. We're going to dinner with many members of her family - at the restaurant she loves best. I'm going to make sure everything is clean when she gets home, so she won't feel the need to do anything. I'll make certain the pets are cared for, and that the driveway is already shoveled.
Most important of all, I'll do all I can to show her how very dear to me she is.
Happy birthday, sweetheart! I hope it's a wonderful day!!
In peace,
Lane
