When the thoughts of living a lifetime alone were becoming bearable, you entered my life and illuminated a new and captivating path.
When a star streaked across a moonlit lake, and I asked for your hand you answered yes and allowed me to cherish you for a lifetime.
When we wanted to grow our love beyond just us, you delivered us a family and gave me more to cherish, more to embrace, more to love.
When the ravages of depression brought me to the brink, you loved me unconditionally and it led me back to our family and you.
When our children turn our home into a wrestling ring, speed track, or soccer field, you bring order to the chaos with patience, kind words, and an open heart.
When I need to work late nights, and come home to sleeping sighs from you and the children I am reminded of what it is all about.
When my thoughts become unreasonable or otherwise wrong, you continue to listen and debate without judgement.
When my heart is bruised and battered by life’s travails you embrace me with a hug and my World makes sense again.
When my mind is preoccupied, you ground me, guide me, and give me purpose.
And when I think of what your love feels like to me …
Merry Christmas my love.
My greatest love.
A Love Story
