"Happy 29th Birthday to my beautiful wife.
When I look at you today, I am overwhelmed by how much I love you. You are the light of my life, my greatest comfort, and my favorite part of every single day. The lovely moments we share—the quiet mornings, the easy laughter, the way you look at me—are the greatest gifts I’ve ever received.
But today, I also want to celebrate the hardness of our love. People talk about love like it’s just a fairy tale, but you and I know the truth. Love is also grit. It’s the patience we practice when we’re exhausted, the compromises we make, and the conscious, heavy choice to choose each other even on the days when it isn’t easy. The hardness of our love is the forge that made us unbreakable. It’s the work we put in when the world is loud, and the grace we give each other when we fall short.
I love you not just for the beautiful, easy days, but for the hard ones, too. The lovely moments are so incredibly sweet precisely because we’ve worked so hard to build them.
Welcome to 29, my love. I can’t wait to keep doing the hard, beautiful work of loving you for the rest of my life."
