Birthday Boy

Missing. Missing that little girl, who somehow managed to get in the bathroom and close the door while Don was out of the house for a couple of hours yesterday. The poor thing was trapped in there! I just want to cuddle her and tell her everything is okay. She’s had a rough time of it lately. But her dad is doing that rather nicely and for that I am very grateful.

Speaking of her dad, it’s his birthday today. And once again, I am away from home, darn it! It’s a Beatles-song-title-birthday, if you get my drift.

Regular readers will already know quite a bit about Don. If you’re new, just trust me on this one: he’s the best man I know. Little did I know on the day we met (July 4th – I’ll be gone for that important date, too) that my world had changed forever.  We’ve been together almost 21 years and I am profoundly grateful for every moment of our relationship.

Actor, singer, songwriter, writer are the words I would use in a CV or on a website. Compassionate, kind, hysterically funny, smart, whimsical, loving, honest, true blue, dependable, accepting, tolerant, dear, sweet, expert back-rubber, creative cook, supportive, impulsive, fun – are some of the words I would use to paint a picture of the man I love.

He’s the best, you know. I hit the jackpot on the day we met. Forever grateful. Forever committed to him. Forever in love.

Happy Birthday, dearest. We’ll celebrate when I get home.

By the way, I posted mid-day yesterday and you might have missed it. The post is entitled, Self-Care: Maintaining Balance. Please take a moment to read it and leave a comment. You might end up being the winner of a $100 Visa Gift Card!

I have a book review scheduled for tomorrow and then I’ll get back to photos of Chautauqua.

Happy Wednesday. Happy Birthday, Don!

  10. Happy birthday to Don! I’m happy that you count every moment with Don as a blessing, Claudia. My late husband was a gem too….we were together 35 years, known each other 50 years….that wasn’t nearly enough time together…

    Oh, poor Scout! My cat sometimes gets locked into the garage, but she loves the extra time exploring in there.

  11. “They say it’s your birthday.. happy birthday to yoooou”.
    We are singing in the car with the windows down – it’s probably a good thing you can’t hear us! Sending you very happy birthday wishes from your friends up (way up) north. :)
