Because
You Are Loved.
Your husband coming to see you.
For your birthday.
You’ve been through a lot the last few weeks, Victoria. It’s a crazy time in your life – all positive things, and you’re killing it – but it’s pretty wild. The weekend of your birthday is going to be a different story. It’ll be calm, steady, and relaxing.
Your husband wants to see you more than he wants his next breath. Your absence has him truly understanding his feelings and commitment to you, and waiting another month is out of the question.
What about the kids?
Don’t worry. Grandma Aura and Great Grandma Raymond are taking the train to come watch your handsome boys for the weekend. They will be left with a healthy spending budget for food and entertainment as well as a car to get around in.
