There are some stories worth telling; this is one of them. About a year ago, we discovered not only that we love each other, but that we are bibbles too. Big bib and tiny bib in a bibpod.
I imagine there is a lot more to discover about us and even more to add to our bib world.
I am grateful for another year of you - you are important to me beyond any words. I'll try, however, to use them, limited as they may be, to explain how much.
Happy birthday.

And surely enough, additions were made to our bib world. Here we are, a whole year later: our BBULSHness and WOMBOLness are continuously expanding.
In a world that is messy, imperfect and merciless at times, we somehow manage to create a perfect little nook (fillets and all) that is filled with magic.
My love, you bring so much joy to me and others around you. You're a star that shines so bright one could forget how dark it was before you showed up.
For that, and for many other reasons, I love you very much. And that, as everyone (even silly big ol' bibs) knows, can never really change.
Happy birthday.

I have been thinking about your birthday wishes for a few days now, and I realised I keep bringing the same image in my mind: us - years later - in front of a computer - our children around us - reading the birthday wishes entries through the years.
What would I want them to read about this year with you?
I would want them to know you supported me throughout the most challenging part of my life. Day by day, you were there lifting this huge weight with me. You loved me at my worst. Through all the bad moments (and they outnumbered the good ones, I think, this year).
When we fell in love, 3.5 years ago, I had no idea what life would throw at us. I also had no idea what kind of person you are - just a feeling that you might be one of the rare ones. And how incredibly lucky was I to discover how kind, clever, loving and compassionate you are!
My love, you are one of the reasons I still believe there is still some magic in the world. And I cannot express how grateful I am for that.
You are my lovis. Forever. Happy birthday.
