Happy Birthday, Kathleen

Today is Kathleen’s birthday and I am reminded once more of how incredibly fortunate I am that she is in my life.

First of all, there’s the obvious: if she were not here, I’d be dead. The only reason I went to the hospital when I was stroking out was because she insisted I go. If it had happened at home, with me on my own, I’d have died on the living room couch certain that I was simply feeling tired.

Second, she takes care of me on a daily basis, doing everything from preparing meals to making sure I have my barrage of pills.

Third, she is a wonderful mom to our daughter.

Fourth, and most important, she is my best friend, my best advisor, my best everything. If she were not in my life, I wouldn’t have one.

Thank you for being with me.
