Sweets,
I love you more than I ever knew I could love. God has given us such a beautiful marriage. We started off as such good friends, and we couldn’t help but to fall in love with each other. You are my best friend. You are my confidante. You are my lover. You are my other half. I adore you.
Every time I think of you, I am just amazed at how beautiful you are, both physically and in personality. I find it impossible to take my eyes off of you. When I can’t see you with my eyes, I do so with my heart. I love your hair and your eyes and your sweet smile as you look at me. I love your skin and the way I can hold you forever. I love the way you fit so well in my arms. I love your love for other people. I love your humor and the way I can hear your stories over and over again and still laugh as hard every time. I love your strength, and even how difficult you can be sometimes.
Remember how good we were together? We used to always say that, huh? “We’re good together, you and me.” Oh, how I love that about us. And we always say how we’re just like an old married couple – like we’ve been married 50 years. But we also always talk about how we are still in a honeymoon phase, and probably always will be. As my brother said, “It’s like they’re still dating.” Oh, Darling, I love our love.
I know I wasn’t always the best to you. And I know you say the same about yourself towards me. But we always figured things out and loved each other even more after those painful rifts.
This year, especially, was the most beautiful thing we could have ever hoped for. We had some amazing memories, doing those things that we’ve always loved doing together. And I couldn’t ask for a better last week with you than the one we had. If not for the seizures, I would have loved every minute of it. We laughed and played and talked and prayed. We went shopping and walking hand-in-hand and to a movie.
The one word that keeps coming to mind when I think of our marriage, Honey, is “beautiful.” There is no other word to describe it in my mind. I love you so much. Thank you for making my life so wonderful.
“Stay with me forever.” We were always telling each other that. I will, Sweetie. I will stay with you forever. I hope that we can have more time together on earth before we get to forever, but either way, I’ll be with you forever. Stay with me and I’ll stay with you.
Kisses,
B.
