Lest there be any misunderstanding, I adore my bride. Paraphrasing Auden (180 degrees out of context) she is my North, my South, my East, my West. I cherish our life together, and cannot imagine any other life which would be any more worth living. Today is the anniversary of Mrs. T's birth, for which I am especially grateful.
As with most husbands, I'm the burr under her saddle. We are opposites in every thing that doesn't matter, and joined at the hip at those that do. Together, we are indomitable. She's taught me to take the long view, I've taught her not to take things so seriously. They have been gifts from the heart, each to the other.
Mrs. T is not my best friend, she doesn't complete me, her life would be full and satisfactory without me. I, on the other hand, would be hopelessly lost without her. She's my reason, she's my why. I cherish her. Because of her I want to live forever. I'll need at least that long to convincingly convey to her how lucky I am, how happy I am being married to her, how I treasure her love and each moment we are together. I love her mostest.
Happy Birthday my adored.
Toad

Many thanks to each and all.
All that mother of his ever did was arrange the raping of the daughters of Orange County (and whatever university he attended)
Happy birthday to Mrs. T who is a far from a toad as it gets :)
Happiest of birthdays to Mrs. T!
Oh, happy birthday, Mrs. T.
What's that fancy SAT word LPC once used about your adoration of Mrs. T - "uxoriousness", I think? That. It just never gets old reading about it. Thank you.
Happy birthday Mrs T, may you enjoy many more in good health.
Toad - you are a great wordsmith. That rates as one of the best odes to true love ever written and should be regarded down the ages with 'Yes Virginia, ther is a Santa Claus'. Even ADG with a tank load of Southern hootch couldn't top that. Live long and propser.
Best,
Ian from Downunder
