HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER!!!

Birthdays are always special times. Times for family. Times for happiness. Times for the memories that count...

How do you say the things you wish to say, when the things you wish to say hold so much more meaning that mere words can even express? Happy Birthday? HAPPY birthday? I don't know. Such a generic form of expression. Happy birthday to the man that means so much to so many? Is that too wordy? Happy birthday to the man that I love? Not saying enough...?

Happy birthday to the one that (before we were even dating) brought me home-made chicken soup when I was sick, when I was beyond grody, no make-up, baggy pajama pants and glasses? To the man who accompanied me to my parents anniversary, meeting them for the first time in such an instance? To the man who made my heart flutter with our first kiss...With our most recent kisses...? Or is that too much about me...?

How about this...How about Happy Birthday to the man who is more special and more important than he will ever know. To the man who is admired, admired and looked up to by not only his beautiful sibling, but his peers and friends as well. To the person who brings smiles and joy to the hearts that he touches (which is everyone he meets).

Maybe he knows it. Maybe he doesn't. But whatever the case is, I just want to wish a very Happy Birthday to my Christopher... I love you!
