I suppose I should start this by addressing the Elephant in the room. It’s your Birthday! The day where you celebrate another year in your life, and another day I am blessed to have you. But something else is unique about today. I am going to do what I should have done a long time ago, and tell you exactly how blessed I am to have you in my life. I know this is cliché but I honestly don’t know where to start. I suppose I’ll just jump in to it. We met nearly a year ago; at a time when neither…

The short story “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemmingway is about a couple that is sitting at a train station between Madrid and Barcalona struggling with a critical decision they are faced with.
