If You Think 34 Is Old, You’re Probably Avril Lavigne

Today is my lovely, charming, talented, often-sweet-but-sometimes-flinty, opinionated-but-not-dogmatic, very pregnant and feeling self-conscious about it (December, boy) wife’s birthday. She thinks she’s getting old – due to the fact that we all age at the same rate, she’ll always be young to me. She is a remarkable, loving mother and step-mother, generous, a hard worker, a very fine writer, and the best partner in the world. Happy Birthday, Dawn. Love, Eric
