While this is Diego’s 365 and I never want to crowd his spotlight too much, on his mom’s birthday I think it’s perfectly acceptable to take a moment to discuss this extraordinary woman. Within the context of raising Diego, she is loving, vibrant, fun, fearless and really damn silly. She snuggles, sings, dances, and generally goofs around endlessly with our son. But outside the context of being his mom, she is magnetic, adventurous, supremely cool, intelligent, and a wunderkind the likes of which anyone rarely gets to meet, never mind be lucky enough to love (and be loved by.) To say I am supremely lucky to share a life with this woman is an understatement, for I am blessed. I am blessed because she is a magnificent mom, blessed because she provides so much for our family through her hard work, blessed because she is endlessly thoughtful and kind. Today we celebrated her, but let’s get real - people like her should be celebrated every day of the year. I plan to live like that as best I can, and I hope I can raise Diego to do the same. Because his mom sure is worth it.
