I met him when he was 19 years old, a confident college junior with plans to attend law school and practice constitutional law. A dreamer wanting to change the world.
Today he turns 45, has been practicing law for twenty years, and after nineteen years of pro bono constitutional work, his favorite branch of the law is now his full-time job. And he still wants to change the world.
His hair is graying a bit—and thinning—though he won’t admit to either. He’s battled eye issues for a year and isn’t as fit as he knows he should be. But he’s a more sensitive and compassionate man than that brash 19-year-old. He loves the Lord and his family more deeply than ever. And he serves others with joy and without complaint.
Happy birthday to my sweet husband. I look forward to many, many more years of loving you.
What a marvelous tribute.
Thanks for sharing, dear friend.

I like this.
With some men, the dreams to "change the world" narrow to become "change the community", "change the family", and "change self" as they get older.
