I love you my wife. Tomorrow it will have been five years since we married and I love you more now than the day we met. I know I say that a lot but it’s true. I really do! The first 47 years of my life were absolutely boring. I thought I was destined for a life of misery and mediocrity. Then you came along and the journey has been nothing but amazing!
As you know before we met I was planning on moving to the woods and becoming a hermit. I had finished with the human race. I’d had enough. You changed my plans of never shaving again and only occasionally bathing. My mother thanks you. So do the hundreds of individuals who would have met me in the Walmart every Friday for grocery and donut day.
But seriously, I never expected how much I would come to love you as much as I do, or how much I would come to depend on you over the years. I know I can by trying, and I know I’m not the best at showing you how I feel sometimes, but you should always know that you are in my heart all day, every day.
There are many moments where I sit and just start smiling about something you have said or done. You constantly bring me joy. Where I am weak, you are strong. I have to say that no one could ask for a better match.
Not once in the five years we have been together have I questioned the decision to marry you. Never, not once. I might joke about it but that’s it. I don’t even mind never winning an argument. Although you might throw me a bone once in a while. But really that’s not important to me. I just like being with you. If you decided tomorrow you wanted to pull up roots and move out of the country I’d go.
I am completely content with you whether we are at the movies, going to the store, or just sitting on the couch listening to the rain hit the side of the house. It’s not about what we are doing, it’s about just doing it with you.
You are one of the most passionate people I know. Whether it’s work, running, or that odd sport you call football. Also, your dedication to your family is very important to me as well. You have a love for your children and grandchildren that I can’t help but feel if all parents felt that way the world would be a better place. I know it’s better for me as long as you and I are together.
Suffice it to say that I can’t imagine being without you. You are my sun, my moon, and my stars. You are my friend, my confidante and my lover. And for that I will always be grateful. Let’s hope the next 100 years together are as good or better than the previous five. And yes…I plan to live that long. The banks wouldn’t have it any other way.
I love you!
Me
