A Special Day

Know those stupid furniture commercials? There’s usually some yahoo wearing a badly fitting suit witth a pocket protector screaming something like, “It’s our birthday, but you get the savings!”

In the last several years, I’ve come to know just how true this is. For my Bday, I always want to give other people gifts. Yeah, it’s my day, so I want to show others how important they are to me.

Well, today is a special birthday…but not mine.

My beautiful wife, Marvelyne, celebrates her birthday today, Dec. 1. This will be the first birthday either of us has celebrated since we married five months ago.
It may be her birthday…but I get the gift. And that gift is to spend every day of my life with her, the woman I love, my best friend.

I love you, babe…and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
