May 12, 2009 — Mark’s birthday

| May 13, 2009

Yesterday we celebrated Mark’s birthday.  At the end of the night, before I went to bed, he hugged me and thanked me for giving him a nice day. He said he was glad he had me to share it with then commented with a smile that next year, and every year after that, he will also have Sam, who will make him all kind of crazy, “homemade” birthday gifts.  I said that yes, she will, and you will have to tell her that her construction paper gifts are the best gifts you have ever received and Mark said, of course he will. I said, you will also have to tell her that you will keep them forever and he said, you know, I probably will….

I am so lucky to have Mark for a husband : )  Not only is he perfect for me, and the best mate a person could ask for, but he is without a single doubt going to be the most amazing dad.  He will keep all Sam’s treasures forever, I just know he will.
