But back to the topic at hand - this guy I know.
He is the consummate family man. He is devoted to his fiery, impulsive, crazy wife. They are like yin and yang and they make a perfect match. He the quiet one. She - the not so quiet one. He is observant in a group of people and is cautious in getting to know others. She works the crowd like it is her job and comes away trying to make the most connections with as many people as possible. He is steady and takes his time making decisions. She is all over the place and makes decisions quickly. He wears his emotions close to his heart hardly ever betraying what he is really feeling. She wears her emotions on her sleeves and you know exactly how she feels at any given time. But from the time they first met when they were college freshman at the tender age of 18 they were inseparable. They have made it through so much and have still come out on top despite some pretty slim odds.
He is the best father to his children that I know of. Even though this guy I know has been working a lot this past year and a half and hasn't been able to spend as much time with his family as he (or they) would have liked to we all know that he is working so hard to provide the absolute best life for his wife and children possible. And it is paying off in spades. This guy I know is the kind of man I wish all dads could be like. He plays with his kids and cuddles with them. He always carves out quality time for his four kids and when they are old enough they will some day understand how much that time has positively impacted their lives. He is a model example to them of what a husband and father should be like. He is honest, hard working, caring, steadfast, and loyal. His boys know that if they ever need to tell a joke that involves boobs, passing gas, or some other immature subject they can tell their dad and he will giggle with them just as hard as they are giggling themselves. All of his kids know that he will always be there for them. No matter what.
This guy I know is not only a hard worker, but is a cutie too. He has these blue eyes that twinkle when he is happy. He has grown a goatee (on and off) that his wife finds incredibly sexy. (I know her quite well and she shares her inner most thoughts with me.) He has these big hands great for holding especially when life gets really tough. And he has a smile that warms his wife's sometimes cold heart. He laughs like the dad from back to the future. George McFly I think his name is....
This guy I know is pretty simple. He doesn't need a huge party or a lot of attention thrown at him for his birthday. He just wants to have the day off from work to be with his family. In fact - his wife told me that he is currently hiking with his oldest son to the top of the Organ Mountains. When they get done this guy I know is going to come home and grill some steaks and just enjoy a quiet evening with his family. This is the perfect way for him to spend his day. Surrounded by those he loves the most.
This guy I know is something special. He deserves the best birthday possible. And he will have it that way because his wife and children will make it possible. They know how much they mean to him and they want to show him how much he means to them. So, on this special day he will be surrounded by the people he loves doing the things he loves. Which is just how it should be on your birthday.
Happy Birthday to this guy I know - who just happens to also be my husband.
