Sonali,

Happy Birthday! And Happy Valentines Day! The theme of the weekend is Magic! It's all about Magic baby. But what really is Magic?

Magic is you, and you are Magic. Let me explain...

You bring Magic to everything around you. From your wit to your charm, your looks to your kindness, you are the type of person people dream of and write stories about.

To have the privelege of calling you my partner in crime, makes me want to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. I'm so lucky to know someone who sees and interacts with the world the way you do.

Often times in life, we try (or at least I try) very hard to quantify just what exactly it is about a person that makes them great. I have tried many a time to create a list for you, but I keep coming back to this intangible quality that is impossible to articulate other than by using the word Magic.

You bring joy into the lives of those around you, you make those who are with you feel safe, you take great pride in those you choose to keep around you, and you uplift others and challenge them, but do so in a way that does not come from a place of judgement.

You are the person that effortlessly brings out the best in others. You are the person that carries themselves so well that everyone looks up to them. You are the person that is always the smartest in the room, but never makes others feel inferoir. You are the person that brings happiness and light into so many people's lives. You are Magic.

Everyone needs a Sonali in their lives. Those that have one in their lives are blessed. Those that get to to call one their life partner have won the fucking lottery. Thank you for being who you are. I'm so excited to celebrate you.

To a lifetime of Magic.

Forever yours,
Dhruv ❤️
