It's birthday time! Can you smell the cake baking? It's angel food...just like every year.
Tomorrow is my husband, Bud's, birthday and I want to wish him a wonderful birthday! I won't tell you how old he is...but I will say that for a whole five days, he is TWO years older than me! I love that!
So to my wonderful husband, I pray that you will be touched by God's love in a special way on your birthday. And also that you will know how much I love you!
Happy birthday, Sweetheart!

Dear Laura,
Greetings from a woman in your husbands past! Albeit I was only 10 years old at the time, but he still had an impact on my life that I will never forget! May I just take this day, his birthday, as an opportunity to thank God publicly for bringing him into the world. Even at 19 he was a consumate gentleman. There were always young men in and out of our home when I was growing up, but Buddy cared about me and my siblings in a way that would help shape me. I didnt realize it at that time, but I can look back now and see how profound and how planned his presence in my life was. During those years I was being abused by my stepfather, no one knew until many years later. I think because this was going on I was constantly trying to get attention from men, I equated that with love. Buddy saw it as inappropriate (he was right) but instead of judging me or shrugging it off as bad behavior, he pulled my bestfriend and I down to the beach and talked to us about being ladies.About how some men would take advantage of young girls and that it was time to get off the guys laps and into our own chairs. It was simple, yet effective. This was confusing though to me at the time because the men in my life were giving me very mixed signals, but as I grew up I realized what a gift he had given me, he had given me a picture of whatat a real mans love was supposed to be like. He really did help shape what I looked for in a man. I have always said that I didnt pick my husband but that God picked him for me but I feel like I listened because he has all those qualities in a man that Buddy talked about that day. So God Bless you and the gift of the birth of your husband. He is a masterpiece and I can only imagine that you are as well!
With love and prayers, Beth Ritter
Happy Birthday, Bud!!!
