Today my husband turns 40. He insisted that there be no parties, or major celebrations… that he just wanted to turn 40 quietly. While I am respecting his decision, I would like to take today to celebrate him. I could not ask for a better husband or father for my girls. I have never seen a father who shares the closeness with his daughters that he does. I am so grateful for the bond that they share. So today, Michael Salmon, we celebrate you and your 14,605 days of life. (Including leap years of course!)
