Happy
Birthday

Milo.

Twenty-nine trips around the sun, and I still fall for you at every one of them.

You make the ordinary Tuesdays feel like something worth celebrating, so I figured your actual birthday deserved a little more than a card.

From the burnt pancakes you insist are 'rustic' to the way you narrate movies I've already seen twice, every ridiculous, wonderful piece of you is my favorite thing about waking up next to someone.

Here's to another year of terrible puns, late-night drives with no destination, and you finally learning to parallel park.

A few chapters so far

2022

The rainy bus stop

Where you gave me your jacket and I gave you my number.

2023

The camping trip

You forgot the tent poles. We slept under actual stars instead.

2024

The move

Two apartments became one, and somehow twice as much laughter.

2025

The road trip

Fourteen hours, three wrong turns, one perfect coastline.

Proof it happened

The two of us at the coast, wind ruining both our haircuts
Him mid-laugh at something not even that funny
A blurry photo from the concert neither of us can properly remember
Sunday morning, coffee, no plans
His terrible birthday hat from last year, worn with pride
Us, somewhere new, always a little lost

One last thing

Make a wish, Milo.
