happy 40th birthday mr. lloyd

he's finally reached the top of the hill. knowing him, instead of going over it & down the other side, he'll find another hill to climb.

40 reasons I love mr. lloyd (in no particular order)

1. he always does more than his fair share
2. feeding him always makes him feel better when he is cranky
3. he knows that compassion and love are better than being right
4. he truly doesn't care what other people think. he just does what is right for him
