happy birthday, rhonda june

my lover, my friend, my partner in crime turns 39 again today (or so she says). i fell in love with rhonda before we officially met. i loved her mind before i loved her body. i loved her voice, her wit, her sense of right and wrong before we were together physically. i loved her intelligence and her knowledge of the world. i loved her ability to carry on a conversation which could range far and wide from deadly serious to extremely funny. (while, still to this day, she can't tell a joke, she always gets them, which is more important) she is funny (...just not as a joke teller...), aware, concerned, caring, empathetic, daring, full of adventure, willing to try new things, beautiful and a great lover. she loves me wholeheartly and unconditionally. i am blessed to have her for my wife and i love her with my whole heart and soul. happy birthday, rhonda.
