Birthdays are a funny thing—we celebrate the person as an accomplishment, for being alive one more “year,” in that they’ve been along for the ride one more time as the Earth goes around the Sun.

Despite the funniness, birthdays are special. They represent a pure happiness for spending time alongside that someone, and are the representation of the joy that we feel, to be here alive with this person right now in this place in the universe.

I feel so privileged to celebrate my wife’s birthday in Aruba. You deserve it Angel, and thank you for all the awe you bring to this world.
