Happy
Birthday,
Abha

Every year that passes, I find myself more in love with you than the year before — and I didn't think that was possible. You've been my first date, my best adventure, my safe place through a pandemic, my partner across continents, my bride, my co-traveller through every country we've landed in, and now — the most incredible mother to our little girl.

I remember the first time I saw you, the way you smiled without trying, the way you laughed like the whole world could hear it. I've been falling for you, over and over, since that very first evening.

From long-distance calls that felt like seconds to waking up beside you every day — from two people figuring out love to two people figuring out parenthood together — I wouldn't trade a single chapter. Not the hard ones. Not the uncertain ones. Especially not those.

Today, on your birthday, I want you to know: you are extraordinary. Not just as my wife. Not just as our daughter's mother. But as you — the person who makes everything feel a little more alive. Here's to you. Here's to us. Here's to every adventure still ahead. 💖
