Chris' point of view:
Today is my birthday. - I am 26 years old. I have thought a lot this morning about where I have come from, where I am going, and the things in life that mean the most to me.
Life is, in a way, like stargazing: Some nights, its difficult to see the sparkling lights amidst the vast and consuming darkness. - Other nights, the stars have washed across the void; blankets of illumination. The fact of the matter is, while the stars are always there, while good things always happen in our lives, while there are always people that love us, it can be difficult to notice because of the distracting world around us.
I am a lucky one; there are 6 stars in my life that never dim, and always shine brightly through the pollution of the city: my Mom, my Dad, my sisters Kelsey, Alyssa, and Laura, and the love of my life - Natalie. I am so fortunate for these people.
Natalie has been on my mind often this week. She is such a wonderful support, such an amazing strength. I hear her laugh, I picture her smile, and it appears as though she is right above my head. However, despite how close her sparkling smile seems, we are still so far apart. I am so excited for her to come this month. It will be great to spend time with her while she is here; its one of the things I look forward to most in life.
My future is bright. I have had trials in life, some of them more difficult than others, but luckily I had the patience to wait long enough to spot the brightest star in my sky. (Honey, having you in my life is the best birthday present I could ever hope to have ... I love you.)
