This one and I

Probably everyone reading at this point have known this fella here through my writing for many years. He's not very articulate or very tech-inclined, so you've seen from my perspective as we adjust to parenting, heard my words as we hurt each other and come close to splitting up, seen through my eyes his reactions to our losses, and known what I share of our happy, silly, domestic, affectionate, ridiculous lives.

It's his birthday today and all I have to say is this:
Thanks, Martin. You're a good man and a kind one. You make me smile every day, and I'm outrageously grateful for everything. Happy Birthday, love.
