Sweetest. Husband. EVER.

We went out for sushi this evening to celebrate my birthday. (Cooked sushi, in my case.)

While we were waiting for our meal, Michael handed me a card. "To the woman I'd marry all over again, with love on your birthday," I read, and tears filled my eyes.

"You made me cry," I said, after I finished reading what he'd written inside.

He grinned at me. "You ain't seen nothin' yet."

I opened my present, a lovely silver pendant in the shape of a flaming chalice symbol. Really lovely. Nicer than any other chalice necklace I've seen. We talked about going together to pick out a chain of the proper length. I smiled from ear to ear.

And then he said: "I was also asked to give you this."

He handed me another envelope, this one addressed to "mama."

"What?..."

"Just open it."

I did, and read, "Happy birthday to you, Mom... the best Mom there ever was."

And then, in tiny tiny handwriting: "thank you for the lovely accomodations. i love you. happy birthday, and i will see you in the spring. love, li'l critter."

Oh. My. God. What a wonderful, wonderful man.

Yup. Tears and silly grin both.
