I’m not a touchy “lets-hold-hands-and-talk-about-feelings” kind of guy. I’ve always kept words inside rather than use them to say the things worth saying – always thinking that things worth saying don’t need to be said. False. Absolutely untrue. Words matter more than any of us are usually willing to admit.
You might have thought I never noticed because maybe words were never uttered. However, today – your birthday – I say thank you. Thank you for the sacrifice. Thank you for putting up with my expensive gear purchases. Thank you for holding thirty pounds of lighting equipment for hours. Thank you for dealing with my insecurities, for putting up with the moments I lose confidence, and for quietly being patient with my compulsions. Thank you for taking a chance on me, for believing in me, and for holding me up. Thank you for being my backbone, for being my right hand, and for being my tranquility…
… Just so that I can be better.
Just because I didn’t say anything doesn’t mean I didn’t notice.
So, thank you for being my best friend and for being my (guitar) hero. Most of all, thank you for being my rockstar…
may Allah always increase your love for each other and your faith in Him together!
