Because Mike had been on bereavement leave following my Grandmother's passing, he did not feel that he should take a vacation day for his birthday . He went back to work today which allowed me alone time. Could it be that I will have a silent day of relaxation ? Nope, not a chance, before he left, he requested a home baked German chocolate cake. I had thought we would pick up a DQ cake but that is OK. I would bake a million cakes if he wished. I know that I don't say it near enough but Mike is such a blessing to not only the kids and me, but to so many. He always fits in the needs of everyone who asks, many times for those who don't even ask but for whom he knows have needs.Many times he is not even thanked, but yet he is not discouraged. He continues to give even though he has medical problems that cause him much pain that he doesn't even mention.
Mike , on your forty first birthday, and always, We love and cherish you !
Hope your birthday is the best ever !
