23 Days. September 21 is 23 days from October 13. October 13 is my fiance Ruth's birthday. Year 2000 is her 23rd. So for the 23 days leading up until her 23rd birthday I wanted to give her something, do something for her, spoil her in some way. Each day is different. Each day is unique. Each day is personal. Each day I want to show and tell Ruth what she means to me.
