Happy Birthday, Honey . . .

               A woman of great kindness and generous spirit, my partner grew up knowing the value of a social consciousness , and has acted accordingly (riding a bus with Civil Rights activists, in the 80's, to protest KKK ongoing segregation in Georgia. . . .  Gay Rights Marches in Washington, and Atlanta. . .  serving meals weekly to the aged. . . . . .   staying in Womens' Homeless Shelters . . . . taking our beloved dog to visit a local Rehab Center to work with patients. . . . ).

Atlanta Beltline November 2012

She has accomplished much in her life, with terrific commitment to our families, friends, her clients . . . and her city.
She has been "born . . . bred and buttered" here in Atlanta. (Which is somewhat unique.)

 Her laughter is as deeply penetrating as her quest for fun.

Yep . . . that's her on that ~ZIP~ Line.

 As one can imagine, in our 17+ years together, we have shared alot. Overcoming some huge obstacles, she has remained strong and flexible with a positive outlook always within her reach.

Akumal, Mexico 2013

She has always been my biggest 'fan,' and has encouraged my 'best choices.'

There is an endless list of virtue and love to share, but I want to just say, "Happy Birthday, Dear ! Thanks for picking me!"
