The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

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.

So much.
