Happy birthday, my love. Every day with you teaches me that the holiest thing I can do is pay attention , to your face, your voice, your astonishing heart.

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 birthday, my love. You are my best decision and my favorite everything. The way you laugh, the way you love, the way you make ordinary days feel like a gift — I notice all of it, every day. Today is yours. The rest of my days are too.
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. Long before I met you, some quiet part of me was already listening for your laugh. You are my small daily miracle.
