Happy birthday Mahal

I just wanted to take the time out and wish my darling a very happy birthday. He has been been my rock and my strength and when I don't feel like having more treatments, he is my voice of reason and encouragement. I am humbled by his commitment and dedication to my recovery and even though my medical appointments take up so much of his time, he never complains or make me feel like it's a bother for him. He deserves a wonderful birthday celebration and I hope we will be able to do that today. Unfortunately, I have some appointments, but hopefully, it won't take up the whole morning. 

Thanks for all that you've done and continue to do for me, Mahal. I love you and am so thankful that you're my husband. So many others would have already bailed out with all the things we have gone through.  Thanks for staying and taking care of me and keeping your promise "in sickness and in health". You keep making me feel beautiful and loved, even though I know I look hideous right now. Even kids can't help it and say I look "creepy"... thanks for never making me feel that... thanks for helping me think things through and helping me make decisions about my health. Sometimes I'm so tired of it... shots, daily medications,  blood work, scans, MRIs, etc., etc., but you give me the reason to fight and you hold my hand and you take me to these appointments and you make me smile and laugh and live.... 

I wish for you a year of happiness, contentment and peace... and hopefully less medical appointments to take me to :-)  I love you with all my heart and I am so blessed to be your wife.  Happy birthday, darling... all my love...
