You're the yin to my yang. The Astaire to my Rodgers. The Bogie to my Bacall. The Ricky to my Lucy. The Daddy to my Mommy.
You began as a friend and proceeded to partner. Fate bestowed you with fatherhood; but destiny -- destiny made you Daddy.
As I perused the “For My Husband” birthday cards, the tear-spawning, over-milked quote from Jerry Maguire (in lavishly flourished script, I might add) graced one notable and extremely oversized candidate. In theatrical context, the line plays well, but in real-life, the implication offends.
You’re no battery, cog or missing piece of a puzzle. Prior to our first encounter, I wasn’t a partial person. You don’t “complete me;” with panache to spare, you create “us.”
Father Time, Daddy Warbucks, the Boston Pops, Dadaism, Papa Smurf…recognizable all, but none generate a fraction of the affectionate admiration due our paternal personage.
You’re the keeper of the peace. The holder of my heart. The father of our children.
I salute you…support you…love you.
On your birthday, and everyday.
