Happy birthday, honey
Tomorrow is your birthday, yet I'm the one that has received a gift. The gift of being your wife.

I thank your mom and dad for raising such a wonderful human being. I see so much of both of them in you, something in which they should be very proud. You are kind and generous. You are smart and well mannered. You are honest and trustworthy. These things, and many more, are gifts from your parents.

I imagine this will be a difficult birthday for you because this is the first one in which your dad isn't here to wish you a happy birthday and tell you how proud he is of you. I acknowledge that you and I have different beliefs about the afterlife, but I know without a doubt that your dad will be with you in spirit today. Just as he is every day.

I'll be thinking of your mom because I know that she'll be wishing she was here to share this special day with you. I know this because I too, have sons. On their birthdays I feel that it's a special and sacred day between us because it is the anniversary of the day that I brought them into the world and the day that I had to part with the constant companion and little person that I'd fallen in love with over the past nine months.

Your mom has told me many times that you were always her boy. I look at your baby pictures and see those sweet eyes of yours and can understand why she'd want you all for herself, and I thank her for sharing you with me.

You still have those sweet eyes which completely melt me. Your eyes could get you out of LOTS of hot water, you know. I'm so glad you don't realize that yet.

I look forward to celebrating your birthday with you, and I hope that we will share many more together.

Happy birthday to the man I love more than I thought possible.

i feel the same way in my relationship, everyday i love him more & more. more than i thought was possible. its so nice to see someone else who appreciates the company of her companion immensely.
may you both be blessed with many, many happy years

That is so sweet. Your hubby is a very lucky man. I hope that he has a good first birthday without his dad. My mother just died, unexpectedly, this past Sunday. It's been difficult but my brothers, sister, father and I are working through it. I probably won't be posting much for a while but I will check in from time to time to read my favorite blogs (like yours).
