Happy Birthday Brian! What a thoughtful and heartfelt list. August 26 was one of the greatest days of my life. I would add 31a - because he shares his wonderful family with me.
I Love You All!

What a beautiful tribute--and it's all true. We are so glad Brian is part of our family now. He is an exceptional person, and a great example to all of us. Happy Birthday, Brian!! Love, Mom and Dad (the "in-laws" that aren't made to feel that way)
