It took a few sentences before I realized that it was PJ writing this. That was so beautiful, so touching and meaningful! I only wish I could write like that - you have a gift, I must say! You once said your "love language" was in doing, but your words are too! Happy birthday, Thomas!

What I enjoy about your writings is your honesty and openness....this is the reason that I, a total stranger living in a far off country, feel that you guys are also part of my family, my sons and grandchildren. Love you guys very much. God bless you.

PJ, what a beautiful expression of your love. Each time either of you write of your love for one another I’m reminded how much I love this love! It’s so special that you can look back on the flaws, scratches and scars of your past together and appreciate it all as an important part of your love story. Happy Birthday once again Thomas, you lucky man! 💙

What a lovely tribute! 💕

Two thoughts: I think all the scratches and cuts in a floor give it a charming, distressed look, am I right? 🤔 A lot of people go to a lot of work to create that look — and here, you get it for free! 🆓

Besides, no one really wants to visit a perfect-looking home anyway. This way, people feel more at home when they visit. 🏠😊
