Yup, today is the big 4..0.. for my man! And it sucks he's not here with us. We made him a special big envelope to open on this day of stuff the kids made and cards, etc. But it won't be the same as him being here. This past weekend he sounded so depressed. Not only was he not feeling well, but just knowing his birthday was coming up and he didn't have us around to celebrate it with got him sad. His crew tried to get him to hang with them this past weekend and instead he stayed in his room the whole time. We're going to celebrate his birthday (and everyone's birthday in fact) that week we're with our good friends in North Carolina for Spring Break. I know being with them that week will make up for these past 6 weeks.

Have an awesome birthday sweetie and we'll celebrate it in a few months once things settle down! I love you and miss you!
