The best gift

My baby's just had the best day today boys and girls, he honestly has and we've been texting and talking like mad, at every opportunity; from as soon as I got into work until leaving for home tonight, it was all about him. And so it should be, because as we mentioned last night, today is a very special - it's my baby's birthday and he's had a ball! He tries to book the day off work on his birthday but he was beaten to it this year, he was unable to book a days holiday, but still regardless of the fact that he found himself reluctantly in work, his colleagues more than made up for it. Gosh, they've treated him so well, with each and every text I got or phone call we made, it was just so evident and it meant so much, not only to my baby but to me too. To know he's happy, well and having a good day always means so much, but today in particular, well it meant the World.

The girls within his workplace absolutely love him and despite being gay he's a real ladies man in certain respects, I guess it's because he's so cute, happy and loveable - you just can't help but love him. He texted me to say he's never been kissed by so many girls in his life and it was so bad that it looked like his face was coming out in a rash with all the lipstick marks adorning it. They we're all asking what I'd bought him and he couldn't answer them because he didn't have a clue, all his presents are surprises and we didn't find the time to open them this morning. He's got a mountain of cards and I mean a serious mountain of them and as expected all the ones off his female colleagues are full of love and kisses, he's come home with a birthday cake, a bottle of brandy, aftershave, ties and socks but no pants; I mean he's got his pants on but he didn't get any new ones! Apparently they are all aware that we need no further supplies of pants, our pant collection is legendary and continues to grow - I know I couldn't help it, but it's my baby's birthday! So my baby arrived home laden with gifts and cards, it's a fine job he took the car to work today and didn't travel by train, he'd have struggled big time.

It thrilled me to see him, to know he's thought of so much and I could just tell in his face that he'd really had a brilliant day - it made me so happy to know that my baby was happy. The tales he was telling me when we eventually settled down, he said he couldn't wait to get home to tell me and he was just excited and enthralled by it all, it was magic - just pure and absolute innocence. But the best was yet to come, if I thought he was excited, enthralled and happy before, when he opened one particular gift I bought him, well it reduced me to tears - an absolute flood of tears. I've just never seen anyone so genuinely happy and grateful in my life; and as it happened to be the guy I love it took me straight over the edge; just the look on his face, his words and the broadest smile I've ever seen. It hit me so hard right in the heart and man, I'm crying about it again now just thinking about it - I've seen some beautiful things in my life but that will take some beating.

To round my baby's day off I'm taking him out for a meal tonight, this bit wasn't a surprise, the tables booked, my baby's busying himself in the bathroom, making sure he's clean and presentable then we're out of here. It's rare, if ever, I indulge in what we buy each other for special occasions - I just find that way too personal and private, it's not for public knowledge; but today, the best gift I gave my baby was happiness. Just to see him so happy and know that he's happy with me and I'm an integral part of that happiness; that's just the best gift anyone could ever bestow upon another person. Happy Birthday baby, may all our days be as happy as today - I love you to bits xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox.
