Happy 23rd birthday to Lori! I wish I had some pictures to post, but that will have to come later. I feel like the worst husband in the world today. I actually am on call and have to be at the hospital all day and all night until tomorrow morning. This is probably the birthday year that I should be home and give her a little break from the wonderful kids who usually need something at all times. This has been a hard month for her with the move, immediately followed by the baby, all while I have had to take call this month. She has done very well when she has had to take on the single mom role. She has not complained when I have had to be gone and she has had to do it herself. She deserves a day off as much as anyone.
I can't say enough how much I love her and need her every day of my life. She means more to me than anything else in this world, and I know I don't tell her that enough. Lori, I hope you have a great day filled with kids who do just what they say right when they are told. I will make it up to you.
Love, Colin
