Happy 29th birthday to the person I get to call home. 🤍

There’s something so special about loving someone through different versions of themselves. We’ve known each other since we were kids, loved each other when we were young, spent four years apart becoming completely different people, and then somehow got the chance to meet each other all over again.

Seven years later, I still choose you. And I would choose this life with you over and over again.

I hope you know how proud I am of you. I hope you know that everything you do doesn’t go unnoticed. I see how hard you work. I see the way you hustle even after you’ve already worked all week. I see how much you care about the people and animals you love. I see you cooking dinner when I don’t want to, cleaning Sonny’s litter box, taking care of me when I feel bad, calming me down, making me laugh, encouraging me, and loving me through every version of myself.

You have made home my favorite place to be.

Home is you taking up way too much of the bed. It’s eating ice cream together before we fall asleep. It’s snuggling Sonny after a long day. It’s laughing until something that felt heavy suddenly doesn’t feel quite as heavy anymore. It’s knowing that at the end of everything, I get to come back to you.

I am so proud of the hardworking, smart, kind man you’ve grown into, while somehow still being the same goofy, Pokémon-obsessed little kid at heart.

When I picture my future, I don’t need every detail figured out. I just know you’re there. I want the boring days. I want the exciting ones. I want the stressful ones, the hilarious ones, the milestones, the ordinary Tuesday nights, and the ice cream in bed. I want to keep growing and changing and meeting every new version of you along the way.

I just want you. For all of it.

Happy 29th birthday, Lover. I love you endlessly. 🤍 taken in Monroe, North Carolina by @_alcrab

Happy birthday to my Grammy, Jerry Lea. You would’ve been 79 today 🤍 Almost five years without you, and my heart still looks for you everywhere.

You weren’t just my Grammy. You were my best friend, my safe place, my angel on earth, my dancing queen. I miss you calling me cutie. I can still hear you saying “Hey Cutie” in the morning or “Good Night Cutie” at bed. I miss the way you loved me without conditions, the way you always believed in me, even when I didn’t. And damn do I miss your egg sandwiches, that you taught me to make 100 times, but still to this day never taste quite as good as the ones you made. I miss sitting next to you watching TV, snuggling with Bear, and falling asleep to your loud snores or your Darth Vader impression in your CPAP that both somehow made everything feel okay.

I miss the three musketeers. You, me, and Hana always. Today Hana and I are together, just like we try to be every year on your birthday. We hold onto each other the way you taught us to. That bond is one of your greatest gifts to us.

There’s so much I wish I could ask you. So much I wish I could tell you about the person I’m becoming, about the moments you should be here for, that feel empty without you. Some days the missing feels quiet, and other days it feels impossibly loud. But it never goes away. The world got a little bit darker December 26th, 2020 and it just seems like the sun won’t ever shine as bright.

I hope you know how deeply you are loved, how much I cherish you and all of our memories. How much of me exists because of you. How often I still feel you with me, guiding me, protecting me, loving me in all the ways you always did.

Not a single birthday or day passes without you in my heart. I love you forever, Grammy 🤍 by @_alcrab

Happy 30th birthday to my absolute best friend, my person. 👩🏼‍🤝‍👩🏻🫶🏻

Rhi, I don’t think I could ever put into words how grateful I am for you or how proud I am of the woman you’ve become. Six years ago, I was going through the hardest chapter of my life. A year ago, it was you walking through yours. And no matter what life has thrown at us, we’ve always been each other’s constant, holding one another up, even when it felt impossible.

You are strength and softness in one. My rock when everything feels heavy, my light when everything feels dark. You are the most resilient, compassionate, beautiful woman I know. You’ve become a powerhouse of a nurse who pours her heart into taking care of others, and watching you grow into this version of yourself has been nothing short of inspiring.

I always post your graduation pictures when I’m proud and today, I’m proud in a thousand more ways than I was 3 years ago when you graduated. I know your mom is celebrating you in heaven today, wrapping you in every ounce of love and pride she carried for you. I feel her with you. I know she’s smiling so big.

I love you more than life. My soul sister, my soulmate in friendship, my once in a lifetime human.

Thirty has never looked better, and I will celebrate you not just today, but every day I get to call you my best friend.

Happy birthday, Rhi. You deserve the world. 🤍✨ by @_alcrab

happy birthday to the lil gray boy who stole my heart. my sunshine, my titty baby, my lil gray man, the best little brother & menace, the baddest of the bad, and the sweetest of the sweet. not a day goes by that i don’t know how much this little 4 year old cherishes his mama & i’m forever grateful. i don’t know how i would’ve gotten through the last few months without this little guy by my side. february 2022 this precious boy came into our lives and became one of the biggest parts of our home. i’ll never forget picking him up at the shelter, and the way he ran into my arms, like he knew he was going to his forever home, from the moment he came home he was obsessed with his sister, his dad’s favorite partner in crime, and his mama’s heart. i’ve always said that amy sent him our way, almost 2 years after losing her & he’s been healing my heart ever since. from chirps to snuggles, every day is an adventure. forever the best boy ☀️🐈‍⬛ kujo sonny dover 🫶🏻 taken in Monroe, North Carolina by @_alcrab

The biggest congrats to the new Mr & Mrs Olson! 💍

Life’s wild these days, and we don’t get to see each other nearly enough, but I couldn’t be more thankful to be invited to such a special day. Jamie, you are that forever friend, that no matter how long we go without seeing each other, it’s like we never stopped. Truly one of the greatest people in my life & you finally got to marry your best friend. Margaux, you are so incredibly beautiful, inside and out, and there is no way I can express how happy I am that Jamie found someone like you (I told him at the wedding, I might even like you more than I like him lmfao). I’m so, so happy for you both. 🫶🏻

Finally getting everyone back together was exactly what my soul needed. Let’s not wait another lifetime to do it again! by @_alcrab
