Happy Birthday Reed!

Reed, on this the celebration of your 35th birthday, we, your family, pay tribute to you in the form of a letter of your name poem.

R - R is for being a Really, Really great Dad.  A Runner of Races with your kids.  A Red-Hot lover.  A Real man.  A Rescue technician.  A Responder to emergencies.  A Revered colleague.  A man who understands Reverence for sacred things.  A man whom we Respect.  A husband whose values Resonate with my own.  Resolved to do Right.

E - E is for Eternal mate.  Excellence in Everything.  Eager learner.  An Expert in many, many things.  A good Egg.  An Exuberance for life.

E - E is for continuing your Education.  An athlete who makes it look Effortless.  Your Ego.  Your Electric personality.  A great Escort.  An even greater Example.  Sometimes Exasperating, always Exemplary.  Grateful to Exist together with you.  An Elder.

D -  A great Daddy.  Sometimes Daffy!  My Dear.  A hater of Debt.  A Deep thinker.  A Defender of right and truth.  You Do your Duty.  Very Dependable.  A Descendent of noble heritage.  A lover of Dessert.  Determined.  Disciplined.  Last but not least, a Delightful companion.

I guess what we are trying to say is that we admire all of your qualities and love you very much.  Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Reed, Happy Birthday to YOU!
