I’ve had the pleasure of having Dominic in my life for about four years now, and today we celebrate his 37th birthday.
Dominic is the kind of guy who aims high, always pushes further, dreams big, and never gives less than 110% — which is both a blessing and a curse. A man of many virtues and talents: he acts, he models, builds just about anything from the ground up, fixes whatever needs fixing (including me), is a carpenter in his free time, works out like a beast, and performs all of his roles as a friend, son, brother, uncle, and boyfriend beautifully.
Dominic hides a giant, melting heart beneath his often grumpy face. Not many have the privilege of witnessing his tears — a contrast to the tall, strong man you see walking around. If y’all only knew just how in touch with his own feelings he is, and how deeply he has brought me in touch with mine, you wouldn’t believe it.
Sometimes I wish Dominic could see himself through my eyes, because I have never been more proud of anyone in my life than I am of him. Kind, patient, loving, understanding, and so gentle, he leaves no room for doubt: he is the best choice I have ever made. And I am so glad he chooses me back, so we can celebrate countless birthdays together.
Happy 37th, my love!
Lately it’s been a LOT. A lot of cooking (private and at work), a lot of time spent learning new things, a lot of love, a lot of purpose, just not enough sleep 😮💨, but I’m happy. I’m home ❤️🫶🏾
