Yes, I know I am not supposed to be writing any blogposts.
But today – and tomorrow – are exceptions, because it’s special people’s special days.
Starting with today, where it’s my wonderful wife’s birthday.
I am conflicted about it.
I love that we are growing old together.
I love that we have memories together.
I love that we have ambitions together.
But I hate how quickly it’s all going.
I am so grateful for all she is in my life.
For all she’s done … supported and encouraged.
I just wish it wasn’t happening so quickly.
For all the horror of COVID, it has been very special for me.
I get the privilege in that statement, but to be with Jill … to spend more time with her than maybe I have ever spent has been incredibly special.
Of course I wish it wasn’t at the huge cost that it has been for others, but I do look at this period as one I will remember for the worst and best of reasons.

Happy birthday my love.
You’re wonderful in every way.
You make everything better, including who I am.
I love you.
