My Boy Turns 40

Obviously not my little boy (who is going to be NINE), but my big boy. Ross is 40 years old today (6/26/66, not quite The Omen, but still lots of sixes).

I was there when he turned 20, I was there when he turned 30, and I'm here as he's turned 40. I hope to be around for all the other decade milestones as well, and I hope there are many.

He's such a kind, good person. How did he spend his 40th birthday? We were going to go away for a few days, so he took off today and tomorrow, but the weather has been so dismal we put our trip off (just as well since Matthew was running a 103 fever and his eye swelled almost shut yesterday!). So today he was free, and he offered his help to a friend who was moving. He spent half of his birthday hauling boxes in the rain. Now that's a nice guy :).

He's so smart, so witty, so fun. He's such a great dad, and such a great husband, and such a great friend. Even if he is a 40 year old geezer.

Man, I'm glad I'm not 40 (for another 6 days :D).
