Happy Birthday, Sweetheart

Karen and Phil Phil Cushman

Today is Phil’s 66th birthday. We have aged together and only grown closer. I had big plans to celebrate but he has come down with the flu so it’s imaginary cake, imaginary champagne, and imaginary hoopla. Happy birthday anyway, sweetheart. I am so glad you were born.
