Thirty-Two

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Happy birthday to the man who:

- I flirted with 12 years ago tonight while wearing a green v-neck sweater when we went head-to-head on N64 wrestling. (I will never forget that somehow Collette knew it was your birthday that night but I didn’t; I really wish I’d wished you a happy 20th birthday.)

- Uprooted his wife and three young children to a tiny little trailer in the middle of nowhere in southern Manitoba, so he could go to seminary (and do unbelievably, amazingly well in all his classes).

- Has picked up every dead mouse and touched every mouse turd that has come to said trailer.

- Still takes the time to play with his kids even when he has papers and exams and not enough time for anything.

- Looks just as handsome in his bathrobe, with shower hair, at 7:30 in the morning than he did on his wedding day (and he looked good on his wedding day).

- Is more patient and caring and gracious than I could ever imagine or deserve.

I love you buddy. Happy birthday. And just so you know, if I could, I would buy you the biggest box of Q-tips in the world. Because I want you to have all the Q-tips you deserve.

  2. “I would buy you the biggest box of Q-tips in the world. Because I want you to have all the Q-tips you deserve.”

    That made me grin.

  3. So, so nice, Dixie!! Happy Birthday, Marc (even though you don’t know me! ha!) :) I remember being so happy when Duane took time to play with the boys when he was so busy with fire college too! Have a super day! :)

  4. They come in boxes of 400. I have one in my bathroom because I apparently share Marc’s affinity for their cottony ear-cleaning goodness. Have you thought about buying him one of those?

  5. Happy birthday Marc!
