Happy birthday to my wife.  I guess that I ought to write sweet things to let her know how much I love her.  I do have wishes of things that I would like to do for her.  But our reality is all we have, and it is much more then I could have imagined.  It is all in the very small details and in the constants that are the foundation of our lives.  Its not like I am such a strong, silent type that I never actually say the words.  But I do believe that how you live is more important then what you say.  But I do know that the saying is crucial and needs to happen enough that it doesn't come as a shock when it does occur.  I still consider the events that brought her into my life to be my best moments (then) and far beyond my ability to appreciate what was happening and how much it would change my life.  In my here and now it is only better, and keeps getting better as the days and years go by.  I do see my life as a bit of a dream.  I am finally starting to 'get' it, and what I do get I do like.  I am just glad that life does give us the chance to change and improve, because I look back and see that I wasn't all that much of a catch back then.  I thought I was, but seeing how much I have changed I wonder how she has put put with me.  Hopefully she will continue to do so.
