Happy Birthday!I never write on my wife's blog because... well come on. Who wants to see me fumble around with words on this blog. I'm not a writer, but I could damn near write you a novel on how amazing my wife is and all of the reasons I love her. But I'm Irish Catholic and enough of a hard case to not put you through that. Anybody who has read this blog for any amount of time knows that I "married up". I know, I can't figure out my luck either. But I wanted to share when I fell in love with Maggie. (It was the first time I saw her)
When I was seventeen I went with a group of friends on Halloween to a mutual friends house. (The mutual friend was Maggie's boyfriend and my eventual best friend). I walked into the house with the tile foyer, high ceiling and huge family room on the right side. As we walked in I heard a piano playing from the family room. Drawing my attention that way I saw a slim blonde girl in a black witches dress with the triangle cut at the hem sitting up right and playing the piano. I vividly remember everything slowing down and... and words can't describe it. She was everything incredible and unattainable and beyond me. The most any of us got from her that night was a polite nod and a brilliant smile. And then she kept playing the piano until we left.
What I thought love was is so much less than what it is. Happy Birthday. You are occasionally ridiculous, but you are my world.
Mr. Curry
This is so sweet and genuine it made me smile and tear up at the same time. Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory with us! And Happy, Happy Birthday, Maggie!
That is a pretty fabulous debut, Mr. Curry. You both found your fortune in love.
Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday, Maggie! That was beautifully written, Mr. Curry. ^_^
(Obscure fact about today: it's called Pocky Day in Japan because 11/11 looks like sticks of Pocky.)
Mr. Curry, you ARE a writer.
Sitting here in tears at the beauty of this. What I thought love was is so much less than what it is?
That's a novel title right there!
This is so, so lovely.
