I’ve known her for the past 10 years and have loved her for the same time frame. I’ve grown and matured with her, and dare say that I am not the person that I am without her. When I hear the phrase, “Iron sharpens Iron”, she is the Iron that sharpens me. I wish her more than the blessings I’ve gained in my lifetime.

Mahal, thank you for all your sacrifices. Staying with our kids and putting a hold on your career while taking care of me and our kids is something I can’t ever think of placing a monetary value. If I do, not even the world’s treasures can cover the interest of the debt I owe you. Happy birthday. One of these days, I’ll be able to celebrate you with a birthday worthy of you.
