Friend, lover, partner, co-parent
Spirit guide, confessor, counselor
Teacher of Spanish and (ah, Cuban time) patience
Sharer of laughs and tears, of baseball and Beethoven
Rescuer, years ago and years later
Keeper of the family flame
Parallel worker and office mate
Accepter, not judge (most miraculous of all)
Walking companion and quondam running mate
Baker, shaker, caftan maker
Taster of (one hopes) bright ideas and old favorites
Moon worshipper and birder
Companion in all that mattered or ever will
Refuge, comforter in the dark nights
Half of my whole
Triple mate, of soul and mind and body
Happy birthday, my darling, my love,
Mi amor, mi corazón, mi alma
My gift, which keeps on giving
My blessing, making life worth living
Merci, a thousand million times, merci
