Dear
Kip,
Happy
Birthday! I know it is cliché to say,
but I am going to say it anyway. The
last year has gone by so quickly, in the blink of an eye! Just think, one year ago I hadn’t even known
you for two months when your birthday rolled around, but I knew you were my
forever love. We were in a worldwide
pandemic and lockdown, so I didn’t buy you a birthday present. (Besides, what do you buy for the man who already
has a sousaphone and prosthetic leg?) Instead,
I gave you a promise that I would love you forever by giving you my Grandma
Margaret’s potato ricer (super romantic, I know). Today, I’m going to renew that promise to you,
but instead of giving you another antique kitchen utensil, I am going to ask you
to write a Bucket List with me. A Bucket
List of dreams and promises for us to complete together, you and me, for the
rest of our lives. You in?
I’ll start…Get a puppy.
Love you always,
Brandy Lynne
