Happy Birthday, Beautiful Husband

When I look at you…I still see the twenty-one year old I fell in love with. So strong. So sexy. Your eyes filled with the hopefulness of your youth. The falling was so fast and hard, that I think the love actually hurt. We were destined for one another, and we had no idea of the storms God was waiting to bring us through.

Nineteen years later…

When I look at you…I see my past, my present, my future. You are stronger. You are sexier. Your eyes are now filled with the clarity of experience. I am still falling, but the love feels so good. Our destinies are being fulfilled daily, and God now faithfully reveals the rainbows after the storms.

Happy 40th Birthday, Beautiful Husband. Time has only made you better. I love you more than all the beats of all the hearts ever created.

Then, now, and always – your soulmate…D
