yay! its my birthday!

My family and friends around me. Lots of love and laughs. This is what life is all about.

Bernie made everything wonderful today. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, caring, loving man in my life. I treasure him. I have never encountered anyone as kind, compassionate and loving yet with such inner strength. I love and respect him more than I dreamed possible.

I know and will never take for granted all that makes him who he is...We have both been through way too much to disgregard the intimate bond we share on so many levels. I feel blessed.
