Happy Birthday Lewis

Happy Birthday Beloved!

You always give such wonderful birthday gifts to the family, so I had to at least make an attempt to give you something as original and inspired. In putting it together, it sounded more anniversary than birthday, so consider this your anniversary and birthday gifts combined (at least as far as the internet goes) .

I give you Jane Austens house




. Through her novels, I have seen the gentle and romantic side of you.

I give you the Nobel Prize for being the best husband!







They say that wine improves as it ages (not that we know that of our own experience) and the same is true of you, with age comes wisdom and a softening to things spiritual and intimate. You truly are a better man today than you were on the day we wed. How lucky am I?

I give you my heart:




I actually gave it to you on our wedding day and I guess more than anything I leave it in your care. I have come to know that you will watch over it as if it was your own and guard it and protect it from heartache and sorrow when ever it is within your capability to do so. It’s in good hands.

Lastly, I give you time.




My time. Time to listen to you, do things that you enjoy, time to just be together. Hopefully, if we live right in our remaining time we will be rewarded with all time….together.

I hope your birthday is as special as you are.

Love, your wife.

That is truly beautiful and I'm glad you both feel as you do. I didn't realize how close your birthdays are together.
