Happy Birthday to my husband

Happy birthday, husband. This is your day. You've reached that "magical" age where you can proudly say, "I'm now on Medicare. Wanna see my card?"

We have shared 38 years together and 38 birthdays, each one special and each one different. We have raised two kids together, who turned out mighty nice I must say, each of us worked our entire married lives, and now we are enjoying retirement together. We have a lot of memories together and share a lot of history.

You were a barefoot, long-haired hippy when I met you, and now look at you. You are a long-haired, middle-class hippy if I ever saw one. You have never changed in all these years. Your philosophy has stayed the same and we still share the same goals and ideals as when we met. Our journey has not been without slight bumps in the road, but all in all, it's been a pleasant journey. There are so many things in common that we share, like music, art, gardening, our families, computers, eating well, friends, nature, fishing, birds, and our cats. You have many natural talents and I appreciate them all. You are my IT guy, my Mr. Fix-It guy, my pool man, my gardener man, and my companion. You are always there when I want to do something.

Thanks for putting up with me all these years. I hope you will enjoy some surprises over the next couple of days. So, Happy Birthday, Husband. If there was a Thom McAnn around here, I would take you to it.

Love, Your Wife of many years
