Obligatory birthday post? Sure. But what’s more important than celebrating the moment and being glad that we are all alive and well? Never forget that.

So happy birthday to my long-suffering and ever-loving wife and mother of my two kids, as my friends are always keen to remind me—not that I can forget these things and hope to stay alive :P
