A Promise of Love

Today's my husband's birthday, and since he's still sleeping (yes, fortunate enough to have his birthday fall on a holiday), I thought I would share the Home and Heart sentiments expressed in the card* he'll receive when he wakes up!

I wish I could buy you a thousand beautiful gifts for your birthday -
fancy things, luxuries, surprises to delight you -
but, I know the things that make life happy can't be bought...

...like love, and the closeness two people share...
time - days spent together when we're happy - no matter what we're doing...

kindness - the little things we do for one another...

These things can't be bought, and yet they're the best gifts of all...

And so, for your birthday, I'm giving you this promise as part of my gift -
to love you even more and make you even happier,
to make all our days together days to remember always.

Happy Birthday, With All My Love,
J
