Birthday Week

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Esther Perel says something along the lines of— you either have different relationships with different people in life or different relationships with the same person. People’s lives shape up differently. In law school, I studied cases about co-adventurers— you know partners in a joint venture, so to speak.

Today’s note is a personal one for my co-adventurer. Just wanted to wish my husband a happy birthday week. I am so grateful God and life gave us the opportunity to come together. Guys, he is the coolest person. I love our hilarity, our friendship, our chemistry, our love, our love for shared walks and our shared squirrel friendship group (ha but seriously). He is the best cook, has the best artistic eye, and has the kindest soul. He is the definition of a good man and a person you are lucky and blessed to know.

May we grant ourselves many relationships with just each other. Life is an amazing (and sometimes scary adventure). I am grateful for my co-adventurer’s new year and for the ability to walk alongside him.

Happy birthday, A. ♥️
