Happy First Birthday Luna!

Luna,

Though it has been a long year, you've taught me more than your small brain is capable of comprehending. Maybe I'm wrong. You do always seem to know it is 5 o'clock before I do.

You've taught me to love when I didn't think there would be reason to love.
You've taught me patience and self-control, and you have been more than patient with me. I thank you.
You've shown me laughter is the best medicine.
You've literally wiped many tears from my face, though not with soft tissue, but with your disgusting tongue-which makes it impossible to shed another tear.

Though you can't properly get into "place", or roll over at my first request, I somehow have faith we'll be okay. Whatever you are getting out of this mess of a relationship we have together, I can only hope it is as meaningful to you as it is to me.

Here's to another, for lack of a better word, interesting year, my love.
