In which my wife gets older (and more beautiful)

(or, "Lordy, Lordy, Darlene's 40!")

Today is my wife's birthday.

Darlene, I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and tell you how much I love you and how much you have touched my life. I'm a better man for having met you. You mean so much to me and I will love you for the rest of our lives. Thank you for being there for me the last few weeks and for everything you do for me every day.

I love you.

Happy Birthday!
