Happy Birthday Alex

Alex's birthday was yesterday, Dec. 28. The card I got for him says everything I feel:

Birthday after birthday

year after year,

we live and we laugh and we grow.

We savor our joys,

learn from mistakes,

let life's little heartaches all go.

Birthday after birthday,

we're grateful for memories we've made

and for goals that we've met,

And the beauty of life

is that every new year

holds the hope it will be our best yet.

For all the beautiful days

and nights we've shared,

for all that's still to come-

I love you.
