I have not, in the past, been a big fan of April Fool’s Day. But the past two have been different.

Because April 1 is Emma’s birthday.

What can I say about her that I haven’t already? She’s beautiful, wonderful, glorious. She came into my life and gave me back hope. She believes in me.

She is my magic girl. I can’t imagine my life without her in it. It’s so much better.

Happy birthday, my beloved. And many, many more with you.

(I was going to save this until 7pm but couldn’t.)
