Today is my favorite person in the world's birthday...
He is generous to a fault, a beyond-devoted father, friend and partner, sacrificing his own needs without question to make certain the rest of us are content.
When you see him, he is usually clad with children - his own and others - nurturing them, carrying them, feeding them, running after them...tirelessly (well, nearly)...
He is deliberate and exceptional, aware of the world around him and priveleged with the gift of boundless curiosity.
He puts up with a lot, but never gives up on us.
He is the calmer of souls, the provider of energy, the benchmark and point of reference for everyone in his life.
He is the sturdiest person I've ever known, with the most massive heart, the most courageous soul and the softest yet most protective spirit.
Happy birthday, Andrea.
“It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions; it is easy
in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the
midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of
solitude."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
