The Gift
Daniel, you gave me the amazing gift of sharing your life with me.
Because of you, I will always be able to say I have been loved unconditionally. (*by someone other than those predisposed to love me because we share the same genes)
Because of you, I take the time to stop and laugh when things start to feel overwhelming.
Because of you, I understand the difference between the DC and Marvel universes.
Because of you, I remind myself that mistakes and not being perfect isn't the end of the world.
Because of you, I know what it is like to be held as if I was something precious.
Because of you, I try to remember that I'm not always right about everything.
Because of you, I've been supported, comforted, protected, and allowed to sometimes be weak without the need to have all the answers.
Because of you, I now know that sushi is indeed one of the things that make life worth living.
Because of you, I was able to truly be myself around someone with no barriers or masks or pretense.
Because of you, I've experienced the joy of mattress picnics, choose-your-own-adventure road trips, google face-offs, dancing barefooted, well coordinated launch day marathons, and steering wheel serenades.
Because of you, I've felt safe enough to give my heart without reservation or holding anything back and just loved someone like crazy.
I am a better person, because of you. Thank you for being an amazing best friend and husband.
I love you Daniel.
