"Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them."- AnonymousToday back in 1976....a little fellow by the name of Joshua Emory came barreling in to this world. Although two weeks late...he proceeded to make his entry to the "real world" with a bang. 34 years later he is still making his presence known by all of the wonderful deeds he does for others.
Of course I am grateful that I am privileged to marry this sweet man....but I am even more humbled by all of the great characteristics he has that so often he shares with others. Josh is the guy that no matter what time of the day it is or where he is at in his own world.....if you ask for help he will literally stop what he is doing to come to your aid. Now...perhaps I am a little bias because I am his fiance', but I do speak with authority that I have seen his deeds in action many times with friends, family and co-workers. Occasionally a total stranger gets the benefit of his generosity as well. I think Josh is one of those rare people (similar to my brother Joe) that just enjoys doing for others and simply wants nothing in return. His reward is seeing others happy and that is trait I truly, truly admire.
So....on this great day in April...I wish the most giving and loving man I know...the best birthday ever. I look forward to many more birthdays together!
