Take a minute to imagine life without your DH and you will understand you have the been blessed with the best way ever to celebrate a birthday..... in the presence of someone you love. You can make your day special in your own way, maybe by starting a simple tradition, like watching video together cuddled up in bed. John Edwards and his wife celebrate their anniversary each year by going to Wendys. Certainly they can afford to do something far more extravagant, but obviously the signifigance of that manner of celebrating, started years ago is so meaningful, they continue it to this day.

Happy birthday to you and Loud Lou. Be happy!
Beautifully said, Rach. I agree completely.
