A lot of people gripe about getting older.
They fear birthdays like the plague.
However, when your husband is diagnosed with life-threatening metastatic melanoma at 30 and you are not sure how many birthdays he has left, 34 sounds pretty dang good.
So Kevin, on this birthday, I want to let you know that I am grateful that you get to stick around with us.
We kinda like you.
A lot. A lot. A lot.
I look forward to achy bones, grey hair, and wrinkles. Others try to run from such things, but we will embrace them together.
For us, it will be a blessing and an accomplishment.
Much love,
Katie

Happy Birthday to Kevin!! Wishing him many many more years of love and happiness!
Oh my gosh! I had no idea. How scary for your family to have gone through such a thing. So glad we have God to lean on! And way to be positive about aging! I could learn a few things from you.
How very true! Happy birthday Kevin! I'm so happy that you are here to celebrate with your fam.
Katie, I just read your "Crazy Story" and can I just say that you guys are completely awesome! I admire your strength and am so blessed to see the dependence you have on God. Happy Birthday, Kevin! And many mooooorrrre......
Love!! Even though we didn't really know each other in Fallbrook days, when i heard about your family's trials through a mutual friend, I prayed for you guys during that time. Never underestimate the Fallbrook bond! ;)
Happy Happy Birthday, Spevin Kencer!

You honestly have such a beautiful family. What a touching story! I'm glad you guys are still pushing through! I can't even imagine if my husband were to have something like that. I don't know if i'd be as optimistic as you sound here.
p.s. your blog name/header picture made me laugh. Hopefully that's not off color considering your post. You have a great sense of humor!
