If you see this man, give him a hug and a Happy Birthday.

He’s pretty fantastic, as men go, and he is one of the reasons why this blog is always so chirpy and fun. I know I can talk to him about anything, and he’s my best friend in the world. He hasn’t necessarily had the easiest year this year, but he’s made it this far unscathed. He’s one of the strongest people I know and I wish him all the luck and joy in the world for this next year.
