Well, here it is, birthday #48. Seems like only yesterday you were 47. I hope the day turns out as you had planned. It will be quite the eventful 24 hours.
I thought for your birthday I would let you in on a little secret about you. One I have been telling you in bits and pieces for years, but no am going to use your birthday blog to "assemble". After 48 years on this earth, you are officially a complete package. A package of caring, intelligence, charm, laughter, talent, and beauty. A perfect person. The best human I have ever met. And super sexy to boot.
Let's start with the obvious things that "make you who you are".
You are hilarious. There are few people in this world who make someone laugh for 3 decades. Few people who see thins with the humor that you see them. Few people who have the gift of making the obvious things funny and the serious things feel less serious. You can joke, you can be sarcastic, you can be silly and finally, you can just make people feel comfortable around you while they laugh.
You are not just a little smart, you are super smart. I know you make your math jokes and other comments but in the end, few have your intelligence. President of the company? Totally deserved. Where would we be had you not stepped in to rescue us? How do you do it? Your meticulous attention to details, amazing memory and ability to see things before they happen. That my love is what being intelligent is all about. There are so many things in our lives that I hear you say and think "how did she know about that?" then I just simply realize, she is just super smart and just figured it out on her own. The best part about how intelligent you are is how humble you are about smart. It is really very sexy.
Speaking of sexy, well, you truly shine in this area. Have I mentioned how beautiful you are? How after 48 years you are still at your best? How there are times I just look at you and remind myself how lucky I am that you picked me? I'd give details on the sexy part, but this is a public forum (well sort of anyway). You just keep getting better and better. But I will let you in on a little secret. Your kisses are still at the top of your "sexy" list. Lucky me eh?
You couldn't be any more charming that you are my love. Few people have that innate ability to "own the room". Despite your perceived shyness, you can clearly do this. You aren't boisterous, it is just that people are drawn to you. Somehow, they seem to "need" to be around you. To be noticed by you. Your carefree, positive attitude makes people happy. Your charming demeanor makes them feel safe. The trust you when they have no idea why. And you do it with such little fanfare that you don't even notice.
But the thing that is best about you is how caring you are to everyone you love. I don't think that anyone else but me sees this one. It is your greatest asset in life. It is your "superhero" power. That thing that you do that no one else can do. It never lets me or anyone else down. It is a true statement that no one in your path will ever be in pain for long. You won't allow it. You won't allow someone you care about to suffer. Even if it means some huge sacrifice of your own. I googled what a saint is and, frankly, you come close.
I am not in any way being sarcastic about this "superhero" thing. There are so many examples I can't name them all. But in the past year, I can think of so many. It seems that no matter what when you see someone you love in a bad way, you step up and try to do something to help them. Your generosity is unparalleled. Your kindness is unexpected. Your time is always provided. Sometimes the people you care for don't even know you are helping them. You don't' ask for accolades because just making them feel better or feel safe is all you want. This "superhero" power is what truly amazes me about you. It is better than flying, super strength or seeing through buildings. It is a power that makes people happy.
So there you have it. After 48 years you have evolved into a Superhero. The best of all of the superheroes. You sit at the head of the justice league. Now all this world needs is like "3 billion more of you". I am truly lucky that I spend every day with the world greatest superhero. (wait is it my birthday?)
So happy birthday my love. Enjoy the day. Enjoy the life. I know you will. Secretly I won't tell anyone that in your own unselfish way that you made sure everyone had a great time on YOUR birthday. That you somehow took your day and made it a day for all of them too. Only I will know it is just you being a superhero.
Make sure you keep that cape under your Badger shirt.
Happy 48th birthday.
You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
