Birthday Wishes for Wife

Happy birthday, my love. You saw me in the morning, in the bad moods, in the moments I'm not proud of , and then you made me dinner anyway. That is either love or spite. I'll take it.

Happy birthday, my love. You make the bed every morning even when I try to stay in it. The patience you have demonstrated is frankly award-worthy.

Happy 40th, my love. The forties are when you fully stop pretending. You know exactly who you are, exactly what you will and won't put up with, and exactly how you take your coffee. You are the most yourself you have ever been , and you have never, in my opinion, been better. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, my love. You are unreasonably good at most things, and it has made me both a better person and a slightly more self-conscious one. Worth it.

Happy birthday, my love. Of all the doors my life has walked me through, the one with your name on it is the only one I've never wanted to walk back out.

Thirty looks luminous on you, my love. A whole new decade with you on my arm feels less like an ending and more like the chapter I've been waiting to write. Whatever this year brings, let's meet it the way we've met everything so far , together, laughing, paying attention. Happy 30th, beautiful.

Happy birthday, my love. Every year you get more beautiful and every year I get more inexplicably lucky. Statistically this ends at some point. I'm riding it out.

Happy birthday, my love. I don't know how you put up with me, but I know you're very good at it, and I never want you to stop.
