I have 14 minutes left to write a birthday post before the birthday boys day is over, but I know its going to take me much longer, so sorry Im late, but you might think it came from someone else if it were on time, so in a way this is perfect! ;) .... So, Chad, let me start off by saying that youre most likely having what they call a midlife crisis. Refusing to celebrate your birthday or acknowledge that you have indeed reached your mid-thirties is normal for those who are only a handful of years away from being officially over the hill. I get it. Youre more tired, youre more stressed, youre even having another baby when you thought you were on the home stretch... Youre only 3 years shy of having served 20 years in the Marines, and you are instinctively molding into that crusty old Master Sergeant whose wrinkled brow shows you have aged with the war, through deployments, training recruits, and being a leader of Marines.. Yet as a good ol MSgt will, you still refuse to let your age define how fast you run, and how hard you compete, not only with your physical fitness, but also in your career, your family, and all aspects of your life in general.. You think that if you pretend that today was just another day, that no one will notice the truths you are trying to avoid... Well, we all know what youre trying to do! And its time to face the fact that we all know youre not gettin any younger! Not only are you trying to stay in denial about having already lived approximately half of your entire life expectancy, you think that not celebrating your birthday will somehow exempt you from becoming more susceptible to the increased risk of physical and mental health problems for men in their mid thirties and up. Well, let me tell you that it has been proven by really smart people somewhere, that utterly refusing to celebrate and acknowledge your birthday will make these health risks even higher. These same super smart people wrote something somewhere that read that in order to stay in the best shape of your life and keep mentally strong and emotionally well, the best thing you can do is to let your wife throw a birthday BBQ for you while you gracefully embrace your old age by eating cake and ice cream. If you would like to play crossword puzzles or sit in a rocking chair while your younger friends socialize amongst themselves that is perfectly acceptable given your midlife crisis status.. But hiding from this period in your life and pretending it didnt happen, Ive read somewhere by reputable people, is not a wise decision in coping with the affects of entering this stage of crisis. So, I know youre worried about others noticing the extra wrinkle in your forehead, but theres nothing to be ashamed of honey! Everyone gets old. What I really want to make sure you know, is that regardless of your deteriorating mind and body, I still love you! And always will! ;) And regardless of what you think, neither your cane, your walker nor your wheelchair will decrease the amount of love and admiration your kids have for you as well!! And lastly, you are respected and loved by many who consider you their friend. I promise you that just because you have started wearing depends, this will Not affect the loyalty your friends and fellow Marines have for you! You have been an incredible influence on many lives and nothing can take that away! So Mr Msgt Chad Kiehl Robert Kiehl, put back in your teeth, tape on your toupee and cinch up your suspenders, because whether you like it or not, we are having a get together on Saturday for your birthday. Xoxoxo 😘😘😘 It really is for your own good ;) Happy Birthday Chad. Love your beautiful, smart, and wonderful wife, Kymm 😉 😊💚❤💜💙😊
