48 years ago today, in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland, Helen (McLeod) and Alexander “Sandy” McDonald welcomed a baby boy into the world. They named him David John (McDonald). This boy grew up to be one of the most wonderful men this planet has ever known. A kind, gentle, beautiful soul; an excited five-year-old; a serious man fighting for important causes (from specific charities to general causes like equality); a proud geek; a talented actor; a thoughtful, imaginative, creative, sweet person, who never really sees just how amazing he is. Happy birthday, David. It’s an honour to be your fan and a privilege to see you, let alone talk to you. We’re extremely lucky that you’re here. This planet would’ve been so much darker without you. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for all the love and joy you brought to my life. Thank you for existing. What does one wish someone as amazing, as wonderful as you? The best the world has to offer. Lots of love and happiness and health and well wishes, and many, many more birthdays to come. Stay safe and take care of yourself. Happy birthday, David ❤️ #davidtennant #happybirthdaydavidtennant #weloveyou #somuch #mtlcc17 #gff18 #festivalofideas2018 #fanx18 #rccc18 #march4women19 #c2e219 #myphotos #nofilters #nofiltersneeded #happybirthday #youwonderfulman https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZOGUWjMx6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kmmx17lvlsex
