HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JONATHAN


It is difficult to describe the first time you celebrate the day that the person you love dearly, entirely, without measure was born.


The words "happy birthday" become a bland string of letters that mean nothing even remotely close to the feelings you are struggling to convey.

There is a quote from the book EAT PRAY LOVE (Elizabeth Gilbert) that more closely recognizes the sureness I have for this man and the blessings we're receiving as we venture into this wilderness of life together; I offer it up here - on this day he was born - as a suggestion that there is always a greater plan... and that if you surrender to that greater plan, that higher thought, you will not be disappointed.

"God long ago drew a circle in the sand around the spot where you are standing right now. You were never not coming here. This was never not going to happen."

I am so proud to be standing with you in that circle.
