Happy Birthday (again) Mr. Sparrow!


Happy, happy birthday to my husband, Great Love of my life, partner, friend, lover, father of our five children…Soulmate. The passing of yet another year makes me appreciate our journey all the more, makes me appreciate YOU all the more. To think back and realize that I have celebrated this day with you (and for you) for the last twenty years literally gives me goosebumps. To think back upon the continually changing man that blew out the growing number of candles each of those twenty years literally makes me smile.

Still visible in you are many, little pieces of the very young man I fell in love with so long ago…but those are now surrounded and enhanced by the more mature, gentle pieces of the beautiful man I continue to fall in love with today. I love the book that we continue to author together – The Story of Us, and I am prayerful that we’ve barely reached the middle chapters. I am honored to have known you yesterday, proud to know you today, and hopeful to know you tomorrow.

I love you, Mr. Sparrow…
