Anniversary Love

Four years ago today, I met the man of my dreams, the man I dreamed about as a little girl.  I vividly remember the way he looked at me when he spoke to me that first night.  We both got caught up in each of the moments from that evening.  He was funny and made me laugh.  I wasn’t sure what to think laughing so much with someone that I hardly knew, but I could not help it.  He kept my thoughts lingering on the discussions we had.  He gave me reason to think about him long after our initial talk was over.

I have never loved him any less since that day.  I grew to respect him and the things he represented about himself.  I really fell for his charm, and then got to know his heart, and I liked that even more.  I knew his two children as I cared for them at the daycare facility they attended.  We could talk about their habits and interests as that was a commonplace for us.  It was endearing to me to see him father small children.  I was greatly interested in his personality and, of course, his interest in me.  In short, we really hit it off.

Today, I am so thankful for the life that I have and for the love he provides to me.  This man loves me inside and out.  He loves me when I talk through his TV shows at which time he has to pause, rewind, and wait until I finish.  He can turn his head if food falls to the kitchen floor and I pick it up, dust it off, and store it for tomorrow.  He is always encouraging of the many ideas I ponder up and of my crazy life plans. 

 

 

He has patiently taught and given me the chance to hunt, which is his passion, sacrificing perfect shots he could have taken for himself.  He okayed me getting an inside cat although he swore he’d never have pets in the house…and he plays with that cat every single day.  He plays and sings me my favorite songs on his guitar. 

 

 

There are some people that love you because they are supposed to, there are people that try to love you the best that they can, there are people that stick with you because you’ve been through so much together…but this guy loves me because of who I am.  He adores me, appreciates me, and truly wants me in his life.  At least he makes me feel that way and that’s what matters.

 

 

I love his sense of humor, his intelligence, his damn good looks, and the fact that he approached me four years ago and stuck with me through everything.  I believe we’ve found our place in life – and it’s right where I want to be.

 

 

Happy four year anniversary, dear.  I love you.
