Yesterday was my wife's birthday, and I didn't get around to posting birthday wishes for her. One of the dilemmas for married guys--at least, I hope this is a dilemma for married guys, or else it's just me--is the older we get, the harder we find it to pull off those grand, romantic gestures for our beloved. Such was the case yesterday. I thought a lot about what I wanted to say, but couldn't get thoughts converted to bits on the screen. So here is what I'm left with: Kel, I love you more now than when we first said the words sixteen years ago. I love you more now than when we exchanged vows and rings fourteen years ago. I love that you're my best friend, and you love me even when I'm not very loveable. I love that you're the mother of our son, and how awesome you are at being a mom. I hope you had a good birthday.
