Happy Birthday Pearl

I was once told I was the marrying kind by a friend. I didn’t know what she meant until I met Pearl. We’ve been together now for going on 26 years and it seems like yesterday I was telling her how I felt about her. We’ve grown up together, raised a family together, and now we’re grandparents. I never once saw myself doing any of those things before I met Pearl. I just was bumbling through life trying to figure out where I was going to party the next night. When I started liking her other it became clear that I needed to change. She was better than I and I knew it. She has made me the man I am. For that I cannot express my gratitude in words. I guess it just took the right woman to bring out the marrying man in me. I love you Pearl. Happy birthday.
