This is what i married

“I can’t walk, can you go tell those nice cops that this man’s penis is out”

I know birthdays aren't your favorite these days, but I don't often get days fully dedicated to appreciating you. I don't often feel like I know how to show the affection and the value I have for you, because it is so truly immense.

29 years ago the stars aligned somehow and a little agent of chaos sprouted forth. Nearly 5 years ago, the higher powers of the internet crossed our paths. To this day, all my achievements, all the little miracles in my life, that is the miracle I am most grateful for.

I love being here through the growth and healing and change, I love the laughter, I love the never ending conversations, I love the "peer review diagnoses" that I could not escape if I tried. I love knowing that I will be here to listen to you scream about sportsball, and you will be here to listen to me scream about the star whores, and that one day we will laugh and watch our kids yell at each other about new silly antics, forever.

Legal or not, you are the best wife I could ever ask for and more than I could've dreamed of in a best friend. And no matter how you feel about birthdays, I'm glad there's a national holiday dedicated to celebrating my better half.

Here's to you--my soulmate, and the sillier, softer, sunshine half to all the gay ships we keep collecting and lovingly sharing together. Thank you for putting up with my diet rafe cameron/dean winchester grumpy ass for this long.
