Catarina

Dearest Caitlin,

Happy one-day-late birthday!

Thank you for doing strange things with me all the time

and for playing with me at the cabin

and for raising my endorphin levels with 30-second hugs

and for your thoughtful notes that I hang on my happiness board

And also for being beautiful

and soft spoken

and a calming influence in our apartment.

I hope you know that nobody can sing like you

or have beautiful hair like you do

or love like you

or make homemade quilts for me like you do.

And even though you’re obsessed with ironing

and you broke my ice trays the first day I met you…

I love you so much.

Happy birthday Cait Cait!
