Today is my girlfriends birthday. It's pretty awesome, she's turning 20, finally becoming an old fart like me, and I'm very excited for her. I really just want her to have the best time entering into adulthood. My 20th... really sucked, to be honest. I was really depressed, and though I got to spend my birthday with friends, I just felt all alone. Unimportant.
I don't want my girl to feel the way. I just want her to know how glad I am that she was born. A whole lot of people love her and just really care about her, and I want her to feel that. Time with her is priceless, and I feel as though I could never make it up to her if I ever squandered her time. She's a beautiful young woman, and I know she's going to be a great success in this wonderful world we live in...
Anyway, I just want to take some time to honor my girl, my partner, and my best friend, Erin. You bless me with your very presence, Love.
