birthday card from Alon (the part he wrote)...
To my love,
Happy birthday to you, my dearest. Not a moment goes by when I do not think about you and how lonely and empty my life would be without you. I am so happy that I was able to spend your birthday with you- it was so depressing when I thought I would be in California.
Every year that goes by, I realize how lucky I am to be with you and how much I love you! You are my everything! I hope today brings you much joy and that the year brings lots of success (dissertation :) ...?!)
xoxoxo,
Alon
