The love of my life turns a certain age today. As one can tell by looking at my grid (her nightmare), I am obsessed with this fierce and yet somehow endlessly lovable being. I was a somewhat fully-formed human before I met her, but I have become my favorite version of myself throughout our journey. Rox pushes me to strive to become that on a daily basis. Your work ethic, your love and loyalty to those in your life, your sense of humor (which is better than mine), your cooking (also better than mine), and the way in which you mother our daughter. It’s impossible not to fall deeper and deeper in love with you as we recommit to each other on a daily basis. Being married to you is the greatest gift this universe has given me and will ever give me, it has opened the door to all these other gifts in our lives. I know this year will be your best and I can’t think of anyone more deserving than you, I cannot wait to see what it has in store for you. My middle. Forever and ever. 🕊️🤍
Thank you to everyone who showed up and made my birthday an absolute surreal event. The first shoutout obviously goes out to @whosroxy who just went above and beyond. I am so grateful for you, middle, you’re insanely amazing and my love for you is and always be the predominant force in my life. A huge thank you to @ardengrier@jsoothe and @itsemmmmmet for all you did as well, I love you guys. Thank you so much for all your help and making this birthday the most special of all. Finally, a big shout out to my parents @izivim and @lz48lz . I love you guys so damn much, thank you for all your sacrifices and your love. I don’t know where I’d be without you and I don’t want to know. I love you guys with all my being.
It goes without saying that, since October, this has been the most challenging year for me and many Jews across the globe. 40 has been a birthday of reflection for me, and a clear reminder of just to how lucky I am because of my family’s many sacrifices that reach back generations. I want to take this opportunity to send love to everyone in my life, and to everyone in general. Hoping for more peace and understanding in the coming months and years. 💙🤍
One year of being married to my best friend. Twelve months of falling deeper and deeper in love with you. Fifty two weeks of building a life with you I couldn’t have ever dreamed of. Three hundred and sixty five days of laughing my ass off. Rox, you’re literally the best human I’ve ever met. Thank you for choosing me, for letting me take this ride with you, I feel so honored, lucky and unworthy all at once. I’d be no where without you, I’m so damn excited to continue to build this remarkable life with you. 🥹🤩
Happy Valentine’s Day to this stone-cold fox I get to call *my wife* (usually in a Borat voice). Puxa, you’re the fucking best and, as we all know, I’m a shell of a man without you. You’ve taught me so damn much about myself and about life. You’ve introduced difficult truths to me that I fought at the beginning but have now accepted and they’ve made me so much better for it. You’ve been nothing short of an absolute legend and an ally through one of the toughest years in recent history for me and our people. I’m just so damn lucky it’s unfair. Everyone in this world needs a Puxa, then there would be no such thing as hardship. You’re literally the best. 💙🤍💖
6 years of knowing and loving this absolute bad ass. She has taught me more than I ever knew I needed to be taught. What an opportunity to pinch myself as a reminder of how absolutely lucky I am. My Puxa, the absolute best ❤️💙
Absolutely terrible what has transpired over the hours. My heart goes out to my family, friends and all those suffering from these heinous acts. Trying to maintain optimism for a safer future for all... 💙
Roxanna June Smith Dunlop. Today is your day. A day of reflection for all those who love you on how lucky we all are to share an energy field with you. This morning, I was thinking of how seldomly I now operate out of fear. Pretty strange considering this used to be my default, but now has almost completely melted away. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the past 5 years have been my greatest growth period in this arena. And then it dawned on me. It’s you. Rox, you are not only an inspiration into going after what you want, but you are a safe haven for me and for all those you love. You love so intensely, you will destroy anyone who messes with those you cherish. This creates a space for us in which we feel as if we can do anything. For me, I know if I fail, I will always have your love and support. You are a parachute when I fall but a turbo charger when I run. You are simply the most incredible human I have ever met. My love for you burns brighter today than it ever has, it boggles the mind to think of where it will go in the future. Our daughters name is Shai, but it is you who is truly the greatest gift ever. Thank you for sharing your energy field with all of us, my genius. ❤️🦫🐿️
Some black and white love from the best day ever 🖤🤍

Damn. What an incredible weekend of fun and worlds colliding. I couldn’t have asked for a better send off to begin this new chapter with the love of my life. Thank you to all my friends who made time to celebrate with me. I love you guys so much. I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better time. 🌴
5 years! What an absolutely insane and inspiring time it’s been. You have been my everything through so many ups and downs and I couldn’t have dreamt of a better partner through it all. Thank you so much for teaching me so much about myself, about life and for never ceasing to be my biggest source of inspiration. This year will be the best of them all (it’s impossible to imagine) as we continue to grow and I am so ready for all of it. I love you more than I could ever express to you. My puxatoni Phyllis 🥰♊️❤️
