Our marriage has been so incredibly blessed with love and contentment. You gave me a life I didn't dare even hope for. We've been best friends for a long time and the amount of forgiveness and happiness you've given me is, even now, almost unbelievable. We came together under imperfect circumstances, we were destined to fail, destined to let each other down, somehow against all of those imagined odds you still make me happier than anyone else on the planet.
I'm young and there is so much I don't know, so many places in life I've never been and you have unfailingly been a guide to me, a teacher... So many times when I needed someone to be something you were there and willing and there aren't enough words or lifetimes to thank you adequately.
In the beginning you were a friend to me, then you were a confidant, then you all of the sudden, magically, you loved me. Somehow, impossibly... There was love. And later there was more love in a way I never imagined possible, in the earliest moments of the morning with a tiny baby curled up on your chest, there was so much love. I was crushed by it and carried by it... I was a new mom and you were steady and strong and there for every moment of it no matter how difficult or pointless.
I am now and will remain in complete awe of the person that you are, the father, the husband...
Love you always
XOXO
