Happy Birthday to My Best Friend!

Rick playing golf in Bermuda last June

I would like to wish a special Happy Birthday to my best friend in the world, my husband Rick!

He is such an amazing husband and friend and daddy!

His work ethic and selflessness amaze me and I know he underestimates his importance to me and his children. We honestly couldn't make it without him.

Playing golf is his favorite thing in the world to do.  And I don't like to play.

But I had planned to make a tee time for him for yesterday and go ride the cart with him, then take him out to eat at Outback Steakhouse.

Instead, because of my delayed surgery, he spent the day taking care of me and the kids, doing extensive work in the yard and even stayed up late last night catching up on work he missed while he was home with me last week.

And it's pouring down rain today.

Great birthday, huh?

But, that's the kind of man he is. He wouldn't have missed those things for anything.

I'll reschedule our birthday date, and I'll do as much as I can today to make the day special for him, even though we'll be couped up in the house.

More than anything I just want him to feel how much he is loved.  Because he is so loved!

Happy Birthday, babe!  You are the love of my life and I cherish you beyond measure!

Thank you for all you do for me and for the love you have for me!
