Son, I love you for who you've always been and for who you're still becoming.

Love wishes for the son who has, by his own effort, made me prouder than any of my own work ever could.

I love you, son. May this year be the kind of year that finally feels like yours.

I love you. The friendship inside the parent-child bond is what makes ours rare. We're lucky for it.

Anniversary wishes for the spouse who has, despite decades, still not figured out the correct way to load a dishwasher. I've stopped pointing it out. That's growth.

Happy anniversary. May our next argument be about something small enough to laugh about by Tuesday.

Anniversary update: still together, still convinced you steal the covers on purpose. Love you.
