Why I Love Your Birthday

I love birthdays.

But would you believe that I love celebrating other people's birthdays a lot more than my own? I find so much joy in planning or helping plan for a friend's birthday celebration, or a family members' celebration. But for me, planning for the birthday of the one I love is the best among them all.

I love waiting for the days to come nearer to the actual date, love the challenge of choosing a gift, or gifts which I think he would like. I love planning the venue for our dinner date (yes, we have a deal that our birthday celebration with each other will not consist of other people and will take place- free of charge for the celebrant- in his or my favorite restaurant). Most of all, I love the day itself, because I feel as if it were my birthday too, and I think I'm even happier than he is...

So tomorrow, my dearly beloved one- You turn another year older, and hopefully another year wiser. And even if I do believe that everyday should be spent as if it were our last- therefore spent wisely and happily, tomorrow, your birthday is a date I will forever hold dear.

I love your birthday because it was the day God brought you into the world, and therefore, to me.
