Hellooo Twenty Fooour!
Birthdays have always been special to me. It is so fun to have that one day out of the year be all about you.
My husband gave me the best card this year and I want to share what it said.
"Love of my life. TRUE LOVE, when it comes, is always worth the wait. Sometimes I wish that we had met sooner, that the detours along the way could have been fewer. But then something tells me we found each other at just the right place in our lives. Now here we are - right on time and so right together. And I want you to know I would've waited forever for this, for you, for the love of my life. Happy Birthday."
Of course that is all Hallmark, but he added his own touch of words at the end and they were even more beautiful. We have always talked about cutting out all the old loves and heartbreak and wishing we would have been together from the start, but just the thought of knowing he'll be my birthday card giver for the rest of my life is so much better!
I received such fun gifts. I didn't clean, cook, run errands or open a textbook. I took a nap. I ate the best food and I shared my day with the most important people in my life.
Birthdays when you are older are so much simpler but so much more meaningful. The gifts you want aren't gifts you can buy anymore. Here is to 24!
