happy birthday

i wish i could be there with you. i wish i could invite you out to a fancy restaurant and wine & dine with you all night. i wish i could buy you a new car or something equally extraordinary.
most of all i wish you a very happy birthday.

here's a flower to tell you how much i love you instead. to let you know that i feel lucky to have you in my life and that i am grateful for the way everything has turned out between us for the last 15 years or so. thank you for being who you are!
i hope your next year will be filled with laughter, sun shine and a wonderful new home. here's to a wise & wonderful man - cheers! *sound of champagne popping all around & a jazz band starting to play*
