He doesn't even like when I mention his name. He is a private and very independent person. Still...tomorrow he turns 48.
He doesn't love that I'm writing this... but he knows who he's with.
He's stood by me...for years and especially the most brutal past year.
I can't even explain what that year was like for him because he's such a sweet soul.... he wouldn't tell me. Having a partner battling cancer. All of a sudden nothing becomes about you. BUT...you still matter.
A year ago I had just begun chemo...he wasn't aware of what life was like with a love who had cancer, yet he stood by.
He held my head, he held my heart, he held my hand.
He is here still. He puts up with it all...moods, tests, blogs....life.
I couldn't love someone more. Well...besides my kids...but that's a whole other level of love.
So here we are.
He's turning 48 tomorrow. He's a magnificent human.
If it weren't for him I don't know how I'd have made it this far.
I don't know what else to say....I'm looking over at him and I feel like his birthday is a gift to me intead of him.
I guess we're both lucky.
We have eachother and another year for him .
Happy Birthday to my love.
I'm so glad you're alive.
