Happy birthday to the greatest wife in the world!

Growing up, I always pictured myself rich and happy…who doesn’t? It always involved a big house, extravagant lifestyle and hot wife. That’s what dreams are, just wild fantasies where you can imagine whatever you want because the possibilities are endless. Dreams rarely become reality. Thanks to my amazing wife, I have all that, and so much more.

When someone came up with the phrase “my better half”, this is exactly what they meant. When you hang out with people, you want her there with you so they can all meet her. And every one will see how wonderful your wife is cuz she’s got a great personality and is able to get along with anyone. And, more importantly, it increases your credibility exponentially cuz this amazing woman is your wife.

She’s one of the smartest people I know. She passes actuarial exams after studying for only two weeks when others study for months straight and don’t. There’s no way you’d be able to tell though cuz, unlike most smart people who like to act snotty and throw it in your face, she talks and acts like a valley girl. She has an innocence and purity that’s truly admirable.

For someone who acts as young and naïve as she does, she’s somehow also unbelievably strong. No one could imagine what she’s been through cuz she doesn’t show it. Even after going through the most painful experience imaginable, she put on a brave face and carried on. She even managed to pass another exam, even there was no way she could have focused on studying.

Yet for being as strong and intelligent as she is, she’s still incredibly caring. She remembers insignificant details of your friends and family. She’ll fly halfway around the world every year just to spend some time with your family for a couple days without even asking to see her own. She treats and loves your family like they’re her own. And she’ll put aside her own worries so you can leave her for months at a time to spend precious time with your aging grandparents.

On top of all that, she’s incredibly successful professionally. She’s done great things at work that you can’t begin to understand but know is important. So much so that you’re able to putz around for two years without a job and still travel wherever you wanted to go and buy whatever you felt like you had to have. And she’s made an unimaginable dream a reality by taking you to live on a tropical island. And you still get to travel the world and go on way too many vacations. So, to the most incredible wife in the world, I love you. Happy birthday.
