A Blessing

May your home always be full of laughter
and the smell of something good on the stove.

May you always find your way back to each other — through long shifts, long nights, and all the ordinary Tuesdays in between.

May you eat well, love deeply, and never run out of things to say.

We are so glad you found each other. Tonight, we celebrate you.
