Lee,
I don't know if I did this or not, but I vaguely remember calling you Little Bird when I was drunk. You know...that night...back when I tried to kiss you? Did I ever replace those pajamas for you? When I was a kid I always wanted to try and catch birds or chipmunks. I'd try to get close and they'd run away. I'd get closer again and off they went. You were kind of like that, my Little Bird. But I've caught my Little Bird and couldn't be happier.
I love you so much and this has been the best Halloween I've ever experienced. This Halloween has been awesome and I hope it's a great birthday for you. When did we get so old? But I like this much better than when we were younger because the sex is awesome.
I hope you're happy you've made me quite possibly the most happiest guy in the world. I never thought this stuff would happen. It's totally like a dream come true and you know I never watched those Disney movies. Even if Lady and the Tramp was my favorite. and enjoying your day. Don't eat the tacos too quickly. Also, there is a six pack of your favorite beer in the fridge, I hope you like it.
I love like you a lot, Little Bird. Happy, happy birthday! -Rylee
