Happy 40th Birthday To My Angel!
Today is a very special occasion: My wonderful wife’s birthday. It’s not just any birthday, though. Today, she turns the big 4-0.
Though she might not be in her thirties anymore, she’s just as beautiful as the day I met her. I’m so lucky to have her in my life. She’s a fantastic wife to me and mother to NHL and JSL. Whenever we need her, she’s there for us. If our kids need anything taken care of at school, she’s ready to fight for them. She ensures that everyone takes their medicine, takes care of us when we are sick, and puts up with the boys and me geeking out.
Happy Birthday, B. I love you with all of my heart!

Almost seventeen years ago, I met this wonderful woman online. I knew right from the start that there was something special about her. A month after our first online meeting, we meet in person for the first time. To say that our date went well would be an understatement. When it came time to leave, we found it difficult to part from each other. I never wanted to leave her side. Fifteen years ago today, I married this wonderful woman.

Fourteen years ago today, I walked down the aisle and became the luckiest man in the world because B & I were married. I thought our lives couldn’t get any better, but then along came NHL and then JSL. Over the years, we’ve had high times and lows. Excitement both of the good and bad kind. Scares and joyful moments. Through it all, B is the rock I’ve clung to. Every time I think I can’t take one more thing that life has thrown my way, B is there to provide support. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without her. I couldn’t do half of the stuff I do without knowing that she’s there for me. Whenever I think that I can’t love B any more, I find that I was wrong – I can and do love her more each and every day.
Please join me in wishing Happy Birthday to B, aka TheAngelForever, aka my wonderful wife and mother of our children. Yes, today is her birthday. The celebrations will include an oven delivery and a possible event to attend for NHL (if the weather doesn’t get so bad that it is cancelled). Seriously, she has bad luck with birthday scheduling. It seems like something always hits right on her birthday. One year, I’d love it if she could sleep late (not rush to get the kids ready for and then off to school), spend the day doing anything she wanted to do, and be able to go out to eat where ever she decided to go to. We’ll celebrate her birthday another day, but it won’t be the same.
