How do I introduce a man most of you already know? On my seminal day, the anniversary of my appearance in this world, I don’t know how to write about my greatest gift.
MTM.
He helps me SEE the beauty in minutiae.
When I want to quit, he tells me I can.
When I stop believing, he constructs a bridge, guides me across and pushes me onward.
When I don’t care, he counteracts my apathy with passion and with faith. With a kick in the pants and with love.
He feeds my body. He nurtures my imagination. He consumes my soul….and he whups my butt in any game.
Without MTM, I would be Nowhere.

He is indeed a keeper, for sure. If he ever gets tired of cooking for you, please send him over the bridge and through the woods to TLMTK’s house.
